The Peace Council is expected to play a pivotal role in the coming phase, not only in Gaza, but also as a model for international cooperation in resolving crises. The success of this initiative, with the support of the Kingdom, the United States, and partner countries, will be a cornerstone for achieving security and stability for all countries and peoples of the region, opening new horizons for development and economic prosperity, far removed from the language of war and destruction.
