watt2026 is less than a month away and now we face a real question: Donald Trump Using his “Peace Council” as an excuse to replace United Nations?
No secret Trump wants to change the status quo and has no love for this global institution.
It is no exaggeration to say that Trump’s actions in the first year since he took office have caused an uproar. global paradigm shiftDriven by “America First” policies, the desire to be a transactional president, and an attempt to reaffirm the “Donno Doctrine” us Dominate the Western Hemisphere.
Now, on the 80th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations, the president appears to be trying to create a rival organization under his own leadership.
In true Trump fashion, it resembles the reorganization of a major company.
last week, White House Announces members of its so-called founding executive committee“With President Donald J. Trump presiding.”
By his inner circle, billionaires and Tony BlairIt will oversee the long-awaited peace commission, which was originally intended to develop the president’s 20-point plan for Gaza and rebuilding the stricken territory.
However, based on a recently leaked draft charter, the two institutions’ true ambitions appear to extend far beyond Gaza. The charter has reportedly been sent to about 60 countries for signature. Some diplomats worry that it is effectively designed to compete with the United Nations.
First, according to the obtained text, the charter does not mention Gaza at all. israeli newspapers haaretz and financial times.
Instead, the agency’s goal is to “restore reliable and legitimate governance and ensure lasting peace in areas affected or threatened by conflict.” It emphasized its ambition to become a “more flexible and effective international peace-building institution”, which seemed to be a direct mockery of the United Nations.
The charter also reportedly gives Trump broad powers as chairman haaretzThe text allows him to appoint and remove member states, a decision that can only be overturned by a two-thirds veto, the organization said.
Diplomatic sources said the committee’s scope could even expand to include negotiations on crises and conflicts in places such as Venezuela and Ukraine.
The White House stated, executive committee They include Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Trump’s special envoy and real estate mogul Steve Witkoff, Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and Tony Blair, whose role in the 2003 invasion of Iraq made him unpopular in some parts of the Middle East.
The list also includes billionaire private equity CEO Marc Rowan, World Bank President Ajay Banga and banker Robert Gabriel. us National Security Advisor.
The peace committee below it contains several executive committee members, as well as two former U.N. envoys, including Sigrid Kaag, who resigned as U.N. special coordinator for the Middle East peace process last year, she told Dutch media said the entire process relied on a “life support system.” It also includes representatives from Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Türkiye, all of whom have played key roles in Gaza peace negotiations.
There are no Palestinians. There’s an Israeli: Yakir Gabay, a billionaire real estate tycoon.
Putin’s press secretary Dmitry Peskov claimed that the Russian president received the invitation to join the peace council “through diplomatic channels.”
Invitations to heads of state to join the Charter also signal that this body is not just about Gaza.
“The Peace Council and its executive bodies will create a new international organization and transitional government,” the letter to the Argentine president reads. Javier Miley, who posted his invitation online.
“Our efforts will bring together a distinguished group of nations ready to shoulder the noble responsibility of building lasting peace,” the statement added.
It added that each member state may designate an authorized representative to attend and participate in meetings.
Do these structures sound familiar?
As I said, it’s no secret that Trump doesn’t like the United Nations. He spoke at the 80th UN General Assembly in September after getting stuck on a broken escalator and then dealing with a malfunctioning teleprompter fiery speechquestioning “What is the purpose of doing this?” United Nations? “
He claimed from the podium that he had ended seven wars but “never even received a call from the United Nations offering help.”
He concluded by saying that the United Nations not only fails to solve the problems it is supposed to solve, but often “actually creates new problems that we need to solve.”
He continues to take unilateral actions.
Since the outbreak of the Gaza war in 2023, the United States has vetoed six UN Security Council resolutions calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, the most recent in September.
Instead, the president continues to move forward with his own agreement and these committees. The U.N. Security Council authorized the peace commission in November, but the authorization limited its geographical focus to the Gaza conflict and limited its mandate to 2027.
So did the President of the United States simply accept this limited approval and run with it?
Some are concerned about the creation of a global decision-making body controlled and staffed by one of the most powerful men on Earth, who appears intent on challenging other international institutions such as NATO and the International Criminal Court.
Trump appears bent on destroying “the post-World War II legal order enshrined in the United Nations Charter,” a former deputy secretary-general of NATO was quoted as saying.
Is his goal now to overthrow the United Nations?
