Trump’s Board Of Peace Makes Massive Financial Commitment To Rebuild Gaza
President Donald Trump announced Sunday that his newly-former Board of Peace will be providing $5 billion to help rebuild Gaza.
The Board of Peace is an international organization established by President Donald Trump in January 2026. It was formally chartered during a signing ceremony in Davos, Switzerland, on January 22, 2026, with initial participation from leaders of about 17 countries.
The group has since grown to include nearly 20 member nations from regions such as Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, and parts of Asia. Israel joined the board recently.
The Board of Peace focuses on promoting stability in Gaza following the Israel-Hamas conflict. Its main activities include coordinating humanitarian aid, supporting reconstruction projects, and maintaining security.
This involves an International Stabilization Force and local police units. A key condition is that Hamas must commit to full and immediate demilitarization.
On Sunday, President Trump announced via Truth Social that members of the Board of Peace have pledged more than $5 billion for Gaza’s humanitarian and reconstruction efforts. He also stated that member states have committed thousands of personnel to the stabilization force and local police.
“On February 19th, 2026, I will again be joined by Board of Peace Members at the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace in Washington, D.C., where we will announce that Member States have pledged more than $5 BILLION DOLLARS toward the Gaza Humanitarian and Reconstruction efforts, and have committed thousands of personnel to the International Stabilization Force and Local Police to maintain Security and Peace for Gazans,” the president wrote.
“Very importantly, Hamas must uphold its commitment to Full and Immediate Demilitarization. The Board of Peace will prove to be the most consequential International Body in History, and it is my honor to serve as its Chairman.”
The pledges will be formally announced at the board’s first meeting in Washington, D.C., on February 19. Invitations have been extended to additional countries, including Russia, France, Germany, and others, though some nations like Poland and Italy have declined to participate.
The board’s purpose is to provide a coordinated international approach to Gaza’s recovery. The $5 billion in pledged funds is intended to support rebuilding infrastructure, delivering medical aid, food, and other essentials, and helping residents recover from the conflict’s effects.
The board seeks to combine financial support with security measures to create conditions for long-term stability in the region.
