Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban announced today that Hungary is honored to join United States President Donald Trump's Peace Council, which, he said, is an initiative focused on peace.
"It is time for a change. The old international structures intended to preserve peace have lost their strength. New initiatives are needed. Hungary is honored to join President Donald Trump's initiative aimed at peace and with the aim of delivering real results," Orban wrote on the X network.
He added that this is a historic moment and that he is looking forward to tomorrow's first meeting of the Peace Committee.
US President Donald Trump has invited about 60 countries to join his Peace Council, whose first meeting is scheduled for tomorrow in Washington.
Several EU countries have been reluctant to participate in the body because they are concerned that it would create parallel structures to the United Nations.
The State Department wrote in a statement published on the X network two days ago that not everyone joined the Peace Committee, but that Hungary was involved from day one.
"We thank them for the invaluable and necessary role they have played on issues related to the Middle East," the State Department said in a statement.
Austria announced today that it will not join the Peace Committee, and Poland reiterated this.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk reiterated today on the X network that his country does not plan to participate in Donald Trump's Peace Council, and that Poland's representative, if he goes to Washington, will only go as an observer.
"Poland will not send Polish soldiers to the Gaza Strip. We have our own security problems, everyone knows what the Polish army is focused on. Poland is not interested in co-financing development projects in Gaza, our money is needed for investments in Polish cities," Tusk wrote.
