Despite being internationally pursued.. Netanyahu joins "Peace Council" led by Trump

The office of the occupation prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, announced on Wednesday his official acceptance of US President Donald Trump's invitation to join what is known as the "Peace Council" concerned with the Gaza Strip.

The office clarified in a statement that "Netanyahu" accepted the invitation, thus becoming a member of the Supreme Peace Council, which is expected to include a number of world leaders.

This step comes at a time when many countries are still reserved or hesitant about joining the council, which "Trump" is expected to officially announce its formation tomorrow, Thursday, on the sidelines of the Davos Economic Forum in Switzerland.

The irony is that "Trump's" invitation to "Netanyahu" to participate in this council came despite the issuance of an arrest warrant against the latter by the International Criminal Court in November 2024; on the grounds of accusations of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

This membership also coincides with the ongoing trial of the occupation prime minister before the Central Court in Tel Aviv on charges related to bribery, fraud, and breach of trust.

The "Peace Council" defines itself – according to its founding charter – as an international organization aiming to "promote stability, re-establish good governance and the rule of law, and ensure sustainable peace in affected areas."

The council is one of four proposed frameworks for managing the transitional phase in Gaza, alongside: the Palestinian National Committee, the Gaza Executive Council, and the International Stabilization Force.

According to (Times of Israel), Israel joined Argentina, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Morocco, UAE, Bahrain, and Vietnam in accepting the invitation to participate as founding members.

It is worth noting that these moves come after a devastating war launched by "Israel" since October 7, 2023, which resulted in genocide and more than 242,000 Palestinians killed and injured, and over 11,000 missing, in addition to widespread destruction that wiped most of the Strip's landmarks off the map, thereby ignoring all international resolutions demanding a halt to the aggression.
