Data: Trump's peace council running out of cash

U.S. President Donald Trump's so-called peace council has received almost no funding, Reuters reports on its website.

Sources say that of the promised $17 billion, equivalent to approximately SEK 157 billion, less than $1 billion has been paid.

Of the ten countries that have committed to funding the council, only Morocco, the United Arab Emirates and the United States have contributed so far, according to the data.

Most of the money is said to go to the reconstruction of Gaza and to a group of Palestinian technocrats who will take over governance of the area from Hamas, which is labeled a terrorist organization.

The Iran war has "affected everything," and plans have stalled for the time being, according to the sources.

Most European countries - including Sweden, Norway, France, the UK and Germany - have refused to participate in the council.
