It did not include Paul, or Barnabas either. Paul was specifically apostle to the gentiles, and and recognized for that by other apostles, even though it seemed Paul cared more for those of Israel, from what he expressed.
According to Lukes account, in three chapters of Acts, (9,0,15) the one chosen to go to the gentiles, it was by his mouth that they were to hear of the Salvation of G-d. The L-RD specifies who of the Gentiles he wanted him to go to. These were not the heathens, but the G-d fearers. Paul, once he got so much flack from the Jews because they did not believe his bogus gospel, decided of his own accord to take his message to the heathens. Not the G-d fearers, but instead
the ignorant heathens that would believe anything that Paul taught them. Trouble arose with this and can be seen in many of Paul's letters where the true Apostles had heard of what he was really teaching and came to them and taught them the truth. There are many verses in his letters that show this, if you can't see them for yourself I will give you a beginning list.

As far as him caring more for Israel that was a farce, one of the accusations against him was that he spoke against the Jews. He wrote things that make you think he cared about them but his actions show what was in his heart.

To the Galatians he tells them that the right hand of fellowship was given to him and Barnabas. Barnabas was already a part of the Jerusalem church. Paul and Barnabas along with others sent with them were to bring to the heathen the beginning requirements of coming into the fold. Paul seems to have not agreed with this. We also only have speculation on what his idea of a "right
hand of fellowship" was.
