Trump seeks to replicate the "Peace Committee" model for Gaza worldwide, considering it a potential alternative to the United Nations.
According to a report on the website of the UK’s Financial Times on January 16, informed sources said that US officials have proposed expanding the scope of the Gaza “Peace Committee” led by President Trump to include other hotspots such as Ukraine and Venezuela. Western and Arab diplomats have expressed concerns about giving this newly established institution greater authority to mediate conflicts beyond the Middle East. A person familiar with the idea said that the Trump administration sees the “Peace Committee” as “a possible substitute for the United Nations... a parallel unofficial institution to deal with conflicts other than Gaza.” Diplomats stated that the committee is expected to make its debut next week at the World Economic Forum in the Swiss resort town of Davos. The report notes that the proposal to expand the committee’s mandate has deepened other governments’ unease about supporting the institution, which was originally intended to help manage the devastated Palestinian enclave. A diplomat from an Arab country said, “The Middle East is cautious about (this idea).” He also mentioned that regional officials have already discussed the topic: “This is not standard procedure.” The report states that Trump has announced the committee is “established.” He wrote on his “Truth Social” website: “I can say with certainty this is the greatest and most prestigious committee ever formed, at any time, anywhere.” Diplomats said US officials have already proposed listing Venezuela as a region for the committee’s future mediation. As for Ukraine, a senior Kyiv official involved in discussions with the US said that another Peace Committee, similarly chaired by Trump, is an important part of a plan to end the Russia-Ukraine war. The official said, “Currently, there is a proposal to set up a special committee dedicated to the Russia-Ukraine conflict.” Source: [Reference News](https://www.cankaoxiaoxi.com/#/detailsPage/%20/a0ddf16de99b4d99b7a1a5c0d326c04e/1/2026-01-17%2017:52?childrenAlias=undefined) Risk Warning and Disclaimer The market involves risk, investment should be cautious.
