Trump announces Board of Peace members pledge $5B for Gaza
President Trump announced Sunday that member nations of his newly created Board of Peace had pledged more than $5 billion for Gaza aid and reconstruction, with the formal commitment to be made at the board's inaugural meeting on February 19. Trump said member nations had also committed thousands of personnel to international stabilization and police forces for Gaza. The announcement preceded the inaugural meeting by four days and was part of a coordinated rollout of the Board of Peace, which Trump created as an alternative to United Nations-led reconstruction efforts.
