Vatican Refuses Participation in Trump’s Gaza Peace Council

The Vatican has declined to participate in the “Peace Council” initiative led by US President Donald Trump, aimed at managing post-war arrangements in Gaza. Cardinal Pietro Parolin emphasized the Vatican’s unique role in international affairs and insisted that crises should be addressed through the United Nations. Despite Trump’s plan, which aims to oversee Gaza’s administration and address broader global conflicts, the Vatican remains firm in its position. The council’s inaugural meeting is scheduled for Thursday in Washington.
