Jean-No\u00ebl Barrot, France\u2019s Foreign Minister, stated that Paris supports the implementation of the peace plan proposed by the US president but opposes creating an institution that would, in effect, replace the United Nations. He emphasized that the role of the UN in managing international crises should not be weakened. Meanwhile, the Swedish government has yet to respond officially to the US invitation to join this council. However, Ulf Kristersson, Sweden\u2019s Prime Minister, said on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Switzerland, that Stockholm will not participate in Trump\u2019s peace council. On the other hand, Giorgia Meloni, Italy\u2019s Prime Minister, confirmed receiving the invitation letter from Washington to join the council but said she cannot give an immediate positive response and needs more time to assess the proposal\u2019s dimensions. These positions indicate that among the US\u2019s European allies, there are no uniform views regarding the proposed mechanism for the Gaza issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Several European countries express hesitation about joining Trump\u2019s Gaza peace council, reflecting divided views among US allies on the proposal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5382,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5383","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-international","category-secondary-headline"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5383","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5383"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5383\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5382"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5383"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5383"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atlaspress.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5383"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
