Details: According to the source, Macron does not intend to accept Trump's invitation for France to join the proposed "Board of Peace".
Macron believes that the organisation's charter goes beyond the issue of the Gaza Strip and raises concerns about respect for the principles and institutions of the United Nations.
Background:
- Media outlets previously published a draft charter of the "Board of Peace". According to the document, US President Donald Trump plans to require a contribution of US$1 billion from countries wishing to become permanent members and would have the final say on all decisions of the "Board of Peace".
- Trump has invited a number of European countries and Canada, as well as Russia and Belarus, to join the "Board of Peace".
- Poland's government has warned President Karol Nawrocki against participating in the "Board of Peace", noting that such a decision would require approval from both the government and parliament.
