The Peace Committee led by Trump has already received invitations from more than a dozen countries, and the latest responses from China and Russia have come out.
Regarding the "Peace Committee" initiated by Trump in Gaza, both China and Russia, as major powers, have responded.
According to Trump's statement, Putin has agreed to join. However, Putin neither explicitly agreed nor completely rejected it; he simply said that the Russian Foreign Ministry is reviewing the matter and will decide whether to join later.
But a moment later, Putin also stated that even so, it would not affect Russia's efforts to contribute to peace in Gaza. The permanent seat of the "Peace Committee" is priced at $1 billion, so Russia will take $1 billion from its frozen assets under the previous US government to support the peace cause in Palestine. After the Russia-Ukraine conflict ends, this money could also be used for the reconstruction of the affected territories.
It must be said that this move is quite clever. Russia is paying, but it seems not to be paying, since the frozen assets are in the hands of the US, and they can't be retrieved in the short term, and in the long run, there's not much hope either.
But this money is still technically Russia's asset. Since Trump wants to use Gaza as a stage to gain a good reputation, Putin doesn't mind helping out a bit. Using abstraction to deal with abstraction, using magic to defeat magic.
In comparison, China's response is more cautious. During two consecutive foreign ministry press briefings, journalists asked about this issue, and China's response has been consistent: they have received the US invitation, but that's all. Whether or not to join is currently no information available.
Those who understand know that this is likely to be handled coldly. Sometimes, not giving an explicit reply is itself an answer. Trump's move clearly aims to bypass the United Nations and establish an international organization entirely controlled by the US. As a permanent member of the UN Security Council and a creator of the post-war order, China naturally won't pay any attention to such nonsense.
According to US media reports, at least 10 countries have already accepted the invitation, including Hungary and Belarus. It is said that the US is already preparing a grand signing ceremony, which must allow Trump to shine, after all, this is the main purpose of Trump's preparation of the Peace Committee.
