Donald Trump's 'Board of Peace' pledges $7 billion to rebuild Gaza
Donald Trump's newly formed 'Board of Peace' has gathered pledges from nine nations totaling $7 billion to assist in rebuilding Gaza following recent conflicts.
The 'Board of Peace', established by US President Donald Trump, convened for the first time in Washington, where representatives from nine nations committed to providing $7 billion in funding aimed at rebuilding Gaza after its extensive devastation from ongoing conflicts. This initiative highlights Trump's strategy to address not only the physical rebuilding of war-torn regions but also to stabilize them through international cooperation.
Additionally, the meeting revealed that five nations, including Morocco, have volunteered to send troops as part of an international stabilisation force in support of the reconstruction efforts. The initial deployment is slated for Rafah, a town in the southern part of Gaza, signaling a multifaceted approach that combines humanitarian aid with security provisions. Trump's remarks reflected a broader vision, suggesting that the success in Gaza could set a precedent for resolving conflicts in other regions around the world.
With Gaza estimated to require $70 billion for comprehensive rebuilding, this pledge, although significant, represents only a fraction of the total need. Trump's optimistic outlook promises a peaceful transformation of Gaza, but it also raises questions about the overall effectiveness of such foreign interventions in conflict zones. The international community's response and additional contributions will be crucial as this initiative progresses.
