Trump Says Board of Peace Has Secured $5 Billion for Gaza Ahead of Inaugural Meeting

The Feb. 19 inaugural meeting will confirm contributors, with the board’s mandate and UN role under continued scrutiny.

Overview

  • Trump says member states will formally announce more than $5 billion for Gaza reconstruction and humanitarian relief at the Washington meeting.
  • He also says thousands of personnel are pledged for a UN‑authorized stabilization force and local policing, though detailed country breakdowns remain undisclosed.
  • Indonesia’s military is preparing up to 8,000 troops for potential deployment by the end of June, the first concrete readiness statement tied to the mission.
  • Independent assessments by the UN, World Bank and EU estimate Gaza’s rebuilding needs at roughly $70 billion, underscoring a large funding gap.
  • Participation skews toward Middle Eastern and emerging nations as several major Western allies hold back, citing concerns about the charter’s concentration of chair powers and the board’s relationship to the UN, including reports of $1 billion for permanent seats.
