The board would not only achieve peace in Gaza but also intervene in “hotspots” around the world, Trump said. “We will help Gaza," the president said. "We will straighten it out. We will make it successful. We will make it peaceful. And we will do things like that in other spots.”
Its members would be able to “do things many other people couldn’t conceive or think of,” he added, calling this first meeting featuring representatives of at least 40 countries, including heads of state, “one of, if not the, most important day of our careers.”
The president also said $7 billion had been committed by board members for reconstruction in Gaza and announced a $10 billion commitment from the United States to the Board of Peace initiative, a sum he said was small compared to the cost of war.
