During a scheduled meeting on February 19 in Washington, President Donald Trump revealed that members of the 'Council for Peace' would announce a funding of more than $5 billion earmarked for the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip. This financial commitment comes as part of a larger effort to stabilize the region following ongoing conflicts. Trump emphasized the importance of this initiative, stating that the reconstruction is crucial for the future peace and governance of the area.

In addition to the substantial funding for reconstruction, Trump called for the 'complete and immediate' demilitarization of Hamas as part of his strategy to end the ongoing war in Gaza. He made this demand public via his social media platform, Truth Social, highlighting his administration's focus on addressing both the immediate needs for rebuilding infrastructure as well as long-term security concerns. The expectation is that as Gaza is rebuilt, the region can move toward a more peaceful existence, contingent on the actions of groups like Hamas.

Trump described the 'Council for Peace' as potentially the most significant international organization in history, stating it would play a critical role in mediating peace and governance in the region. He noted that member countries are prepared to commit thousands of personnel for peacekeeping and local policing efforts to ensure stability. This announcement positions the United States as a key player in Middle Eastern affairs and sets the stage for diplomatic engagements intended to shape the future of Gaza and its surrounding territories.
