Board of Peace members have pledged more than $5 billion for Gaza, Trump says

Former US President Donald Trump announced that members of the Board of Peace have pledged over $5 billion for Gaza reconstruction during a press conference in Washington on June 15, 2023, aiming to address the humanitarian crisis following recent conflicts. The Board of Peace, an international consortium comprising representatives from Middle Eastern nations, European countries, and Asian economic powers, committed to this substantial financial package to support rebuilding infrastructure, housing, and essential services in the war-torn region. This announcement comes amid ongoing international efforts to stabilize Gaza and provide long-term solutions for its civilian population affected by years of conflict. The pledged funds are earmarked for various reconstruction projects including the restoration of hospitals, schools, and electrical infrastructure, as well as programs to stimulate economic recovery and create employment opportunities for local residents. International development organizations will oversee the distribution of these funds to ensure transparency and accountability in the reconstruction process.
