Trump calls on Carney and Millie to the Gaza Peace Council: Details of the plan
In a notable diplomatic move aimed at shaping the post-war phase in the Gaza Strip, US President Donald Trump extended formal invitations to prominent international figures to join the new "Peace Council," which is slated to oversee the administration and reconstruction of the Strip. These invitations included prominent Canadian official Mark Carney and Argentine President Javier Pérez de Mélez, indicating the US administration's efforts to forge a diverse international coalition to manage the Palestinian issue.
Details of international appeals and responses
Sources close to Mark Carney, the veteran Canadian economist and former central bank governor, told AFP that he has received a formal invitation from President Trump to join the council. One of his senior advisors confirmed that Carney intends to accept the invitation, becoming part of the body that Trump will chair himself. Carney's selection is based on his extensive economic experience, which could prove crucial in the complex task of reconstruction.
In the same vein, Argentine President Javier Mellal, known for his support of Trump's policies, announced that he had received a similar invitation to join the council as a founding member. Mellal posted a picture of the invitation letter on his official X account, expressing his great pride in participating in this initiative, reflecting the growing political rapprochement between Buenos Aires and Washington.
The context of the crisis and the challenges of "the day after"
These moves come at a time when the Palestinian territories are witnessing widespread destruction as a result of the ongoing war, making the "day after" scenario the greatest challenge facing the international community. Gaza faces immense challenges related to rebuilding its shattered infrastructure, providing basic services, and ensuring security and stability. The formation of the "Peace Council" aims to overcome the traditional obstacles that have hindered previous negotiations by engaging international actors capable of making bold economic and political decisions.
The strategic importance of the new alliance
The selection of these figures carries significant political and economic implications. The presence of an economic figure of Mark Carney's stature indicates a focus on development and financial aspects as a prerequisite for a political solution, while the inclusion of Javier Pillay reinforces the international presence supporting the American and Israeli vision in the region, moving beyond traditional alliances. Observers believe that Trump, through this council, seeks to establish an international governance model that transcends traditional UN mechanisms, aiming to ensure the swift and effective implementation of reconstruction plans and the establishment of security in the Gaza Strip.
