The first meeting of the newly established 'Peace Council' marks a significant shift in the implementation of U.S. President Donald Trump's plan for Gaza, transitioning from mere political declaration to institutional activation. This initiative includes financial commitments and administrative plans intended to improve the governance and security of the Gaza Strip, which its supporters view as a step towards stabilization. However, critics point to a considerable gap between the pledges made and the realities on the ground, suggesting the potential for unmet expectations.

During the meeting, President Trump reaffirmed his commitment, along with that of the international community, to transform Gaza into a 'better place' and announced a substantial financial allocation of $10 billion for the region through the Peace Council. Tim Konstantin, Deputy Editor of the Washington Post, emphasized that the essence of the meeting was to unite leaders from various levels - including heads of state and foreign ministers - around a comprehensive 20-point plan that was initiated six months ago and is reportedly making progress.

Konstantin outlined the declared priorities of the initiative as ensuring the security of Gaza's residents, halting hostilities, facilitating the withdrawal of Israeli forces, and then focusing on reconstruction efforts. He argued that attention should be directed towards executing the plan rather than engaging in early skepticism about its viability, indicating that the participation of regional players, including Arab nations, reflects a genuine desire for lasting peace and stability in Gaza and the surrounding region.
