Trump Says Peace Board Secured $5 Billion for Gaza and Troop Commitments

Trump tied progress to Hamas’s immediate demilitarization, framing disarmament as the prerequisite for deploying a stabilization force to unlock reconstruction.

Overview

  • The White House said a formal unveiling of pledges is set for Feb. 19 in Washington at the first meeting of the U.S.-led Peace Board.
  • Trump reiterated that Hamas must fully and immediately disarm, with reconstruction linked to a multinational stabilization mission and support for local policing.
  • Indonesia’s military said up to 8,000 soldiers could be ready by late June for a potential humanitarian and peace deployment, marking the first concrete troop readiness.
  • Doctors Without Borders suspended non‑critical care at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis after reports of armed, masked men inside the complex, maintaining trauma and surgery but halting maternity, pediatrics and some clinics.
  • Despite an October ceasefire, Gaza authorities reported new fatalities from Israeli strikes in recent days, and the Health Ministry says cumulative deaths since 2023 are around 72,000.
