U.S President Donald Trump, Indonesia's President Prabowo Subianto, Albania's Prime Minister Edi Rama, Saudi Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Cabinet Member, and Climate Envoy Adel Al-Jubeir, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, and Jordan's Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi attend the inaugural Board of Peace meeting at the U.S. Institute of Peace in Washington, D.C., U.S., February 19, 2026

At the inaugural meeting of the Board of Peace in Washington, President Donald Trump announced that participating nations have pledged billions toward Gaza’s reconstruction. According to multiple reports, nine member countries committed a combined $7 billion to a new reconstruction fund, alongside agreements from several nations to contribute personnel to an international stabilization force. 

The commitments include troop pledges from Indonesia, Morocco, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, and Albania, with Egypt and Jordan offering to train police forces to support future security operations in Gaza. 

Trump emphasized that the initiative aims to rebuild critical infrastructure and support long‑term stability in the region, though the plan remains contingent on significant political and security developments on the ground. The United States also signaled its intention to contribute substantial funding to the effort. 

The Board of Peace, introduced as a new platform for coordinating international conflict‑resolution and reconstruction efforts, is expected to play a central role in shaping future diplomatic discussions surrounding Gaza’s recovery.
