Group 1: Peace Committee Formation - The Peace Committee has a low threshold for establishment, requiring only the agreement of three countries to operate, with founding members primarily being Trump's close associates [2][12]. - The committee's formation is closely tied to the post-war governance of Gaza, indicating Trump's intention to exert control over global conflicts [1][12]. - International reactions are divided, with many Middle Eastern and some Western countries opposing the committee, viewing it as an attempt to centralize conflict mediation under Trump's influence [12][24].

Group 4: International Order Impact - The establishment of the Peace Committee could disrupt the existing international conflict mediation framework and weaken the UN's influence, but ongoing resistance from the international community may limit its effectiveness [24].
