Budapest, January 19 (Xinhua) — Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said Sunday he has accepted US President Donald Trump's invitation to join the founding members of the Gaza Peace Council.
On his Facebook page, he wrote that the invitation was sent in recognition of “Hungary’s efforts to achieve peace,” and confirmed that Hungary had accepted the “honorable invitation.”
He also shared an invitation letter from the White House dated January 16, in which D. Trump officially invited Hungary to participate in the council's work.
According to previous reports, the Gaza Peace Council is part of a broader US-led initiative aimed at demilitarizing Hamas, establishing technocratic governance and post-conflict reconstruction in the Strip.
On Friday, the White House announced the names of the members of the council, which Donald Trump will chair. The members include US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Trump's special envoy Steven Witkoff, Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
However, neither Israel nor Palestine are satisfied with the composition of the US-led council. On Saturday, the Israeli Prime Minister's Office stated that the US announcement of the council's composition "was not coordinated with Israel and is contrary to its policies." The Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement also criticized the council's composition, claiming that it serves Israeli interests and demonstrates "negative intentions regarding the implementation of the [ceasefire] agreement." –0–
