Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Israel's joining of Donald Trump's "Peace Council," which will oversee the temporary governance of Gaza.

The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that Israel has joined the "Peace Council" initiative of American President Donald Trump during a visit to Washington. Netanyahu signed the accession document and later discussed Iran with Trump. The council, authorized by a resolution of the UN Security Council, will establish an international stabilization force in Gaza, where a ceasefire has begun. Trump's plan stipulates that this council will oversee the temporary governance of Gaza and address global conflicts. Criticism of the council is expected, given the absence of Palestinian representatives and the possible undermining of the UN. The ceasefire in Gaza has already been violated, and the next stages of the plan target the disarmament of Hamas and the withdrawal of Israel from the area.
