President Trump on Sunday said members of his newly created Board of Peace have pledged $5 billion toward Gaza reconstruction efforts and will commit thousands of personnel to “maintain security and peace” in the territory. Trump plans to host the board’s inaugural meeting on Feb. 19 at the “Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace” in Washington, D.C., where, he said in his Sunday Truth Social post, the pledge will be formally announced.
“Very importantly, Hamas must uphold its commitment to Full and Immediate Demilitarization,” Trump wrote. “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.”
Trump’s post on Sunday did not specify which member nations were making the pledges or would contribute personnel. However, The Associated Press reported that Indonesia’s military expects up to 8,000 of its troops to be ready by the end of June for a potential deployment to Gaza as part of a humanitarian and peace mission. It’s the first firm commitment that Trump has received, according to the AP.
The recently formed organization is tasked with supervising postwar restoration efforts in Gaza, including the disarmament of Hamas, as part of the second phase of the president’s 20-point peace plan. The Board of Peace is also expected to deploy an international security force to enforce the ceasefire, which has been broken several times since it took effect in October. Joining the board for a permanent seat requires a $1 billion membership fee.
