US President Donald Trump's so-called peace council has barely received any money, Reuters writes on its website.

Sources with insight state that of the 17 billion dollars promised, equivalent to approximately 157 billion kronor, less than a billion dollars has been paid.

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

Most of the money is said to go to the reconstruction of Gaza and to the group of Palestinian technocrats who will take over the rule of the area from the terrorist-labeled Hamas.

The Iran war has “affected everything” and plans are currently stalled, according to the sources.

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