🔥 TRUMP ANNOUNCES $7B GAZA RELIEF PLEDGES + MULTINATIONAL TROOP COMMITMENTS AT BOARD OF PEACE SUMMIT

At the inaugural meeting of the newly formed Board of Peace in Washington on Thursday, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that nine member countries have pledged a combined $7 billion toward a Gaza relief and reconstruction package. Trump said the funds come from a group of nations including Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, the United Arab Emirates, Morocco, Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan and Kuwait — representing an initial investment toward rebuilding the war-battered Palestinian territory. “Every dollar spent is an investment in stability and the hope of a new and harmonious region,” Trump said, thanking the donors. The pledged amount, he acknowledged, represents only a fraction of the estimated $70 billion needed to reconstruct Gaza after more than two years of conflict. Alongside the financial pledges, five countries — Indonesia, Morocco, Kazakhstan, Kosovo and Albania — have agreed to send troops to support an International Stabilization Force in the Gaza Strip, Trump said. Egypt and Jordan also committed to training police personnel to bolster security efforts on the ground. Officials said the initial deployment of stabilization troops is expected to focus on Rafah, a key population center in southern Gaza where reconstruction and security efforts are anticipated to begin. Trump also announced that the United States itself would pledge $10 billion to support the Board of Peace’s work, though he did not specify how the U.S. contribution will be allocated. The Board of Peace initiative, part of Trump’s broader plan to advance peace and reconstruction in Gaza, drew representatives from more than 40 countries. Despite the financial commitments and troop pledges, the strategy has drawn scrutiny because it covers only a portion of the funding and forces needed for full stability and reconstruction, and some traditional U.N. allies chose to participate only as observers or not at all.
