France Expresses Displeasure with EU Commission's Participation in Trump's Peace Council

France expressed surprise at the European Commission's sending of an official to the meeting of the Peace Council organized by Donald Trump in Washington, as the official did not have a mandate to represent the EU member states. France believes that the Peace Council should focus on the situation in the Gaza Strip, as defined by the UN Security Council resolution, and will not participate until the Council's objectives are clarified.
