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.
