Trump says members of the Board of Peace have pledged more than $5 billion for Gaza
WASHINGTON: U.S. President Donald Trump announced that member states of the Board of Peace have pledged over $5 billion to support reconstruction and humanitarian relief in the Gaza Strip. The announcement is expected to be made on Thursday, according to Trump.
In a post on his social media platform Truth Social on Sunday, Trump highlighted that the pledged funds will support critical rebuilding efforts in the Palestinian enclave, which has been severely impacted by ongoing conflicts and humanitarian crises.
Beyond financial support, Trump revealed that member states have committed thousands of personnel to form a U.N.-authorized stabilization force, along with local police forces, aimed at restoring security and maintaining law and order in Gaza.
“This historic commitment demonstrates the international community’s determination to support Gaza’s recovery and ensure stability for its residents,” Trump wrote.
The Board of Peace, a coalition of nations focused on conflict resolution and humanitarian assistance, has previously been involved in regional stabilization initiatives, but this marks one of its largest coordinated funding efforts for the Gaza Strip.
Experts say that while the pledge provides a significant financial boost, the success of the reconstruction efforts will depend on the effective deployment of personnel, coordination with local authorities, and the management of humanitarian aid.
The upcoming Thursday announcement is expected to outline detailed plans for fund allocation, timelines for reconstruction projects, and the specific roles of the international stabilization force in Gaza.
