Major powers received an invitation to join, and whether to go or not depends on the charter and other elements.

According to Xinhua News Agency on January 20, the Eastern Power has received an invitation letter from Trump to join the Gaza "Peace Committee," and whether to go or not is still pending. As of the 20th, about 20 countries or organizations' leaders have received the invitation letter, and so far only French President Macron has stated that he refuses to join.

Suiyue believes that the Eastern Power's decision to go or not mainly depends on the following aspects:

1, how the Charter of the Peace Committee stipulates the rights and obligations of the chairperson, council members, and ordinary members, and the validity of decisions;

2, what are the responsibilities of the Peace Committee, whether they conflict with the duties of the United Nations, whether they violate international law and the UN Charter, and undermine the UN framework and order;

3, whether the resolutions passed or formed by the Peace Committee have legal effect.

If the resolutions passed by the council and the majority of members still require approval by the chairman (Trump), this would be problematic, equivalent to implementing a patriarchal management system. The current information indicates that Trump has this power. Second, what status would the Eastern Power have after joining? If everything is still decided by Americans or Trump, it will not join the council, but at most become an ordinary member, and sending a bureau-level cadre would be enough. Thirdly, if the resolutions formed by the Peace Committee have no legal effect, going there would be useless, wasting money and time.
