'Peace Council' meets for the first time with billion-dollar announcement and troop deployment to Gaza on the radar

Delegations from over 20 countries will gather in the US for the inaugural meeting of the 'Peace Council,' where an announcement regarding troop deployment to Gaza and a multibillion-dollar fund for reconstruction is expected.

A significant meeting involving delegations from more than 20 nations is set to take place in the United States on Thursday, marking the debut of the 'Peace Council.' This council has been created with the aim of assisting in the stabilization of Gaza in the aftermath of a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. The meeting, which will see President Donald Trump in attendance, is anticipated to include a proposal for troop deployment to Gaza, alongside the establishment of a multibillion-dollar fund dedicated to rebuilding the war-torn region. During the dialogue, Trump is expected to announce plans for the dispatch of troops as a stabilization force, with soldiers from various countries participating in this mission, sanctioned by the United Nations. While the exact number of troops has not been specified, officials have indicated that thousands of soldiers might be involved in efforts to ensure peace and security in the area. One of the most pressing concerns remains centered around disarming Hamas, which has sparked questions about the strategic aim of the council’s intervention beyond merely stabilizing Gaza. Moreover, there are rising fears that the 'Peace Council' could overreach its mandate, potentially expanding its role into other ongoing conflicts and serving as a 'parallel UN.' This raises essential discussions regarding the effectiveness and jurisdiction of international bodies in conflict resolution, as well as the implications such an entity could have on existing geopolitical dynamics in the Middle East.
