Board of Peace Launches as Gaza Rebuild Advances

The newly formed Board of Peace officially launched this week in Washington, D.C., with participation from 24 countries. The initiative, created by Donald Trump, is designed to oversee the rebuilding of Gaza and support long-term regional stability.

Supporters point to developments over the past year, including a ceasefire that significantly reduced large-scale casualties compared to the previous period of intense fighting. Israeli forces have indicated plans to reposition, while Hamas has signaled willingness to disarm under agreed terms. International peacekeepers are expected to help maintain stability on the ground.

Funding commitments reportedly total $6.5 billion for reconstruction, alongside expanded humanitarian aid deliveries at levels not seen in recent years. While questions remain about long-term political arrangements — including discussions surrounding a potential Palestinian state — organizers say the launch of the Board marks a milestone in ongoing diplomatic and recovery efforts.
