Trump's Board of Peace Unveils $2.45 Billion Gaza Reconstruction Plan

At a board meeting, governors of Trump's Board of Peace introduced a 66-project blueprint to initiate Gaza's reconstruction, acknowledging significant obstacles. The projects encompass infrastructure, education, and health initiatives supporting Trump's 20-point plan to end the Israel-Gaza war. The board stated, "The need is immense," estimating that addressing physical damage across Gaza will require approximately US$35.2 billion in the medium term and an additional US$71.4 billion over the next decade. The ceasefire, effective October 10, was intended to facilitate a broader rebuilding process under the Board of Peace's guidance. The plan also includes further Israeli military withdrawals from Gaza, Hamas disarmament, deployment of an international peacekeeping force, and establishment of a new apolitical Palestinian government to manage daily affairs. An ambitious programme for rebuilding war-ravaged Gaza was also envisioned.
