Trump Says Board of Peace Secured Over $5 Billion for Gaza Reconstruction

Details of who is paying and deploying are slated for a Feb. 19 Washington meeting.

Overview

  • Trump said member states will formally pledge more than $5 billion and thousands of personnel for a proposed international stabilisation force and local policing in Gaza.
  • Indonesia’s military publicly signaled readiness to provide up to 8,000 troops by the end of June, the first concrete troop commitment tied to the effort.
  • Independent estimates from the United Nations, World Bank and European Union put Gaza’s reconstruction needs at about $70 billion, far exceeding current pledges.
  • Governance terms have drawn scrutiny, including reported $1 billion fees for permanent seats and broad chair powers, with several Western allies declining to join or participating only as observers.
  • The Board is linked to a ceasefire framework and a UN Security Council resolution, though some of Trump’s broader claims—such as unanimous UNSC adoption of his plan and securing the release of all hostages—have not been independently confirmed in reporting.
