Overview
- Only three donors — the United Arab Emirates, Morocco, and the United States — have paid in so far, with total donations under $1 billion, according to a Reuters-sourced accounting.
- Ten countries pledged about $17 billion to launch the effort, yet most have not followed through with cash transfers.
- The board requires $1 billion for permanent membership and its charter sets broad stability goals rather than a specific Gaza rebuild plan, which has cooled interest.
- Semafor reported that $1.2 billion of the U.S. pledge came from State Department funds, and Trump said he would defer $10 billion to the scheme.
- A person with direct knowledge said the war with Iran has disrupted planning and has kept the group from entering Gaza for now.
