In Davos, Switzerland, where the World Economic Forum is underway, US President Donald Trump signed the founding act of the “Board of Peace” , the newly formed “Middle East Peace Council ” (for many a sort of competing body of the UN promoted by the United States), together with the representatives of the twenty countries that have joined so far (in addition to the USA, Argentina, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Belarus, Egypt, Hungary, Indonesia, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Morocco, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan and Vietnam).
"We will be very successful in Gaza, and we will be able to do many other things as well, once this board is fully formed. We will be able to do virtually anything we want to do, and we will do it in collaboration with the United Nations," said the Washington leader. "I have always said that the United Nations has enormous untapped potential, " Trump added. "There is extraordinary potential in the United Nations, and there are excellent people there, but so far it has not been utilized as it could have been."
Italy has also been asked to join the "club" ( access is by invitation only, and states wanting a permanent seat must pay a contribution of one billion dollars ) , as well as other EU countries (which have so far refused and taken their time, protesting against the "competitive" initiative at the UN or the presence of some unwelcome countries) as well as Vladimir Putin's Russia.
"We are open, available, and interested, for at least two reasons ," Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said. She explained: "The first is that Italy can play a unique role in implementing the Middle East peace plan and building the two-state vision. Second, in general, I wouldn't consider it a smart choice for Italy and Europe to exclude themselves from an organization that is nevertheless interesting. However," the Prime Minister continued, "there is a constitutional problem, because reading the statute revealed some elements of incompatibility with our Constitution. This certainly doesn't allow us to sign tomorrow. However, we need more time; there's work that needs to be done, but my position remains one of openness."
