Secret Copy of Peace Council’s Charter on Gaza and Conflict resolution revealed Trump’s exclusive powers
The charter of the Peace Council of Gaza, which defines itself as an international body chaired by US President Donald Trump that is concerned with the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip and the promotion of lasting peace in the conflict zones.
The Charter affirms that sustainable peace isn’t built by permanent dependence or failed institutions, but by empowering peoples to determine their own future, and to build just international partnerships based on the sharing of burdens and responsibilities.
The Council aims to replace traditional models of peacebuilding with a more flexible and effective one.
The Peace Council is concerned with stabilization, the reconstruction of good governance and the rule of law, and the dissemination of international best practices in post-conflict management, in accordance with international law and its Constitutive Charter.
Membership is an invitation only from President Trump, and begins as soon as the country agrees to abide by the Charter.
Like each country’s president or head of government, the Council doesn’t oblige any member to participate in specific tasks without his consent.
The term of membership is three years (renewable), except for countries that contribute more than $1 billion in cash in the first year, to which this period doesn’t apply.
Any country has the right to withdraw at any time, and the president has the right to terminate its membership (with the possibility of objection by a two-thirds majority of the members).
The Council shall be composed of Member States, each with one vote.
Decisions shall be taken by a majority of those present, with the approval of the President, who has the right to vote in the event of a tie.
At least an annual voting meeting and quarterly non-voting meetings shall be held to follow up on activities.
Trump has exclusive authority to form subsidiary bodies, appoint the Executive Board, and modify or dissolve the structure of the Board.
The President appoints him from international figures, and works under his direct supervision.
Meets weekly for the first three months, then monthly.
His decisions are implemented immediately, but the president has the right to veto them.
Submit quarterly reports to the General Council.
The Council is funded by voluntary funding from countries and organizations.
Has an international legal personality and has the right to own assets, open accounts, hire employees, and enter into contracts.
Grant its members and employees the necessary privileges and immunities through agreements with host countries.
The charter can be amended with the approval of two-thirds of the members and the ratification of the president, while some articles (such as those related to structure or membership) require full unanimity.
The President may dissolve the Council at the end of each individual year, unless he renews it before November 21 of that year.
The Charter shall enter into force once three countries have joined.
The official language is English.
The original text shall be deposited with the United States as a depositor.
No reservations to the Charter are allowed.
The White House announced the formation of the “Executive Founding Council,” which includes US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, envoy Steve Witkoff, Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
This comes within the framework of a peace agreement brokered by the United States, which stipulates that Gaza will be administered temporarily through a committee of Palestinian technocrats, in preparation for the transition of the PA to a unified Palestinian body, as part of a credible path towards a Palestinian state.
