The Peace Council launched by US President Donald Trump in January 2026 — formally inaugurated in Davos, Switzerland, with a charter signed before dozens of world leaders — has largely failed to fulfil its stated mission of bringing peace and humanitarian relief to Gaza, according to analysts. Critics note that aid entering the territory remains capped at around 200 trucks per day, well below the 600 stipulated under the ceasefire agreement, while Israeli officials are reportedly weighing a resumption of military operations. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the council's executive director, Bulgarian diplomat Nikolai Mladenov, have agreed to work toward improving the body's performance by October, but political analysts argue the council has effectively become a formal cover for the continuation of the conflict rather than a mechanism to end it.
