King Mohammed VI of Morocco has accepted an invitation from U.S. President Donald J. Trump to become a founding member of a new international Peace Council, the Moroccan Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

The council, proposed by Trump, is intended to support peace efforts in the Middle East and to promote a “new approach” to resolving conflicts worldwide, the ministry said. Participation in the council is limited to a small group of international leaders selected for their influence and commitment to a stable future, according to the statement.

The invitation is described as recognition of the King’s leadership and his role as a key peace actor, reflecting confidence in him from both the U.S. president and the broader international community.

In response, King Mohammed VI welcomed Trump’s commitment to peace and agreed to join the council. Morocco will ratify the founding charter of the new organization.

The Peace Council will be established as an international organization aimed at promoting stability, restoring governance, and ensuring lasting peace in areas affected by or threatened by conflict. Its mandate will focus on practical cooperation, effective action, and partnerships that deliver tangible results, the statement said. Membership is by invitation only from the U.S. president.

Morocco also welcomed the announcement of the launch of the second phase of Trump’s “comprehensive peace plan” and the official creation of a national committee to administer Gaza as a temporary transitional body.

The Moroccan statement reiterated the kingdom’s long-standing support for a just and lasting peace in the Middle East, based on the establishment of a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, living side by side in peace with Israel.
