“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 said.
Trump said members have pledged $5 billion for Gaza reconstruction and committed thousands of personnel for a proposed international stabilization force. Formal announcements are expected at the meeting, reports Global News.
“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 said.
Indonesia’s military confirmed up to 8,000 troops could be ready for deployment by late June, marking the first firm commitment tied to the initiative.
The Oct. 10 US-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hamas calls for an armed international force to oversee security and disarm Hamas. Reconstruction costs are estimated at $70 billion.
Under the ceasefire framework, an armed international force would oversee security in Gaza and work to ensure Hamas is disarmed — a central demand of Israel. So far, only limited interest have been shown publicly by potential participant nations.
Reconstruction is projected to cost approximately $70 billion, according to estimates from the United Nations, World Bank and European Union. Much of Gaza’s infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed after prolonged Israeli bombardment.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who met with Trump at the White House last week, is not expected at Thursday’s meeting. It remains unclear how many of the more than 20 member states will attend.
