Trump's Bold Peace Initiative: Board Promises Aid for Gaza

President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that the newly established Board of Peace has committed USD 5 billion towards the reconstruction of war-torn Gaza. The board also plans to deploy thousands of personnel to aid in international stabilization efforts, though specific member contributions remain undisclosed.

The initiative, first seen as a mechanism to address the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza, is evolving towards a broader goal of tackling global crises. This marks a significant U.S. effort to reform international order, bypassing traditional entities like the United Nations.

Indonesia has made the first solid pledge of support, with up to 8,000 troops ready for a potential deployment by June, as part of humanitarian and peace objectives. Despite these developments, substantial challenges remain, as extensive reconstruction in Gaza is expected to cost USD 70 billion.
