The council denied financial problems, stating all requests had been met immediately and in full.

Sources told Reuters that the war with Iran has affected everything.

The National Committee for the Administration of Gaza was unable to enter the enclave due to funding and security problems.

Trump's Peace Council is structured as an international organization with Trump as its president.

Membership is limited to invited states, with mandates lasting up to three years unless a state pays a $1 billion entrance fee.

The council's charter does not explicitly mention Gaza.

France has refused to join, and only Hungary has accepted unreservedly.

Critics have pointed out the absence of Palestinian representation.

The Peace Council's plan envisions post-war governance of Gaza by Palestinian technocrats.

The National Committee for the Administration of Gaza has not been able to begin operations due to funding and security problems.

The council submitted a written proposal to Hamas to disarm, but negotiations remain in crisis.

Hamas and Palestinian factions insisted on completing the first phase of the agreement.

Funding shortfalls, security concerns, and political resistance have stalled implementation.
