According to Bloomberg, citing a draft charter for the Gaza Peace Council, the Trump administration is demanding that countries pay $1 billion to stay in the Peace Council, which he will lead. The report states that US President Donald Trump will chair the Council initially, and the membership term for each country will not exceed three years from the date the charter comes into effect and will be renewable by the President's decision. Reuters has not yet been able to verify the accuracy of the information in the report. The White House described the report as 'misleading' and confirmed that there are no minimum membership fees to join the 'Peace Council'. In a statement, it said: 'This simply grants permanent membership to partner countries that demonstrate a firm commitment to peace, security, and prosperity'. The US State Department responded to Reuters' inquiry on this matter by referring to previous social media posts about the Council published by Trump and his special envoy Steve Witkoff, which did not mention this figure.
