Board of Peace Unveils Gaza Plan
Trump's Board of Peace laid out a $2.45 billion first phase for Gaza's recovery.
What happened
Trump’s Board of Peace unveiled a first-phase Gaza reconstruction plan worth about $2.45 billion, to be spent over six months on 66 projects. The plan sits inside the Trump-backed ceasefire and Gaza peace framework, overseen with the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza. Board officials and supporters say reconstruction and stabilization can move ahead through that framework. Conditions inside Gaza remain the main obstacle, because Hamas is still present, Israeli military activity continues, and the stabilization force has not deployed. Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff presented the plan in New York and said more donors are needed. Officials said the plan depends on Hamas disarming. No fixed calendar is in place.

The plan was framed as a Gaza reconstruction push shadowed by Israel’s conduct and concerns over Trump’s opaque, quasi-private board. Al Jazeera described the Board of Peace as launching Gaza reconstruction through an initial multibillion-dollar recovery plan and also framed the push as unfolding while Israel continued killing Palestinians and violating the ceasefire. MS NOW portrayed the board as Trump’s opaque, quasi-private alternative to the U.N., raising concerns about transparency and self-dealing.
From the right
The plan was framed as a Trump-led first phase of Gaza recovery, pairing international funding for reconstruction and economic development with security arrangements. The New York Post emphasized that recovery framework, while the Washington Free Beacon cast Hamas as the key security problem the plan must overcome. Just the News also presented the effort as cautiously viable, with officials seeking money and patience to implement an already approved agreement.
