Germany Deems Joining Trump's 'Peace Council' in Current Form Unfeasible

The German government has stated that joining Donald Trump's proposed 'Peace Council' in its current form is unfeasible. In a document from the Foreign Ministry, Berlin expresses reservations, emphasizing that the international order centered around the United Nations must be strengthened. The 'Peace Council' is considered to exceed the boundaries of the UN and its Charter, as well as granting excessive power to Donald Trump. Germany is willing to discuss ideas for peace in Gaza, but only if they comply with international law.
