The Polish Prime Minister says they will not join the so-called "Peace Committee" at this time.
Xinhua News Agency, Warsaw, February 11 (Reporter Cui Li) According to reports from the Polish news agency, Polish Prime Minister Tusk announced on the 11th before a government meeting that Poland will not join the so-called "Peace Committee" initiated by the United States, due to concerns about the committee's structure and objectives.
According to U.S. media reports, the United States plans to hold the first leaders' meeting of the so-called "Peace Committee" in Washington, D.C. on February 19. Tusk stated that the Polish embassy in the U.S. has received an invitation to attend, but given the current operational status and unclear main objectives of the committee, Poland will not participate.
On January 22, U.S. President Trump signed a document with representatives from more than ten countries and regions in Davos, Switzerland, to launch the so-called "Peace Committee," which he himself will chair, stating that the "Peace Committee" will first address the Gaza issue and then extend to "other conflicts." Some commentators believe that the U.S. aims to create an institution parallel to the United Nations, which would further undermine the authority and operational mechanisms of the United Nations.

The U.S. is set to hold the committee's first leaders' meeting on February 19 in Washington, D.C.
