Trump's peace board faces cash crunch, stalling Gaza plan: Reuters
Only 3 of 10 pledging countries have paid, leaving less than $1 billion available and delaying the U.S.-backed plan for Gaza governance and rebuilding.
- Donald Trump's Board of Peace has received under $1 billion of the $17 billion pledged for Gaza, preventing the U.S.-backed National Committee for the Administration of Gaza from entering the territory to assume governance.
- President Trump hosted the inaugural Board of Peace meeting in Washington on February 19, 2026, where Gulf Arab states pledged billions for reconstruction after two years of bombardments destroyed four-fifths of Gaza.
- Only three of ten pledging countries—the United Arab Emirates, Morocco, and the U.S.—have contributed funding, while officials informed Palestinian groups that "no money is currently available" for the project.
- The Board of Peace denied funding problems on Friday, asserting "all funding requests have been met immediately and in full," yet NCAG remains unable to enter Gaza due to security concerns.
- Broader regional instability, including the Iran war, has "affected everything," exacerbating reconstruction difficulties as disarmament negotiations between Israel and Hamas remain deadlocked with fears of renewed full-scale fighting.
