47 Nations Pledge $7B to Rebuild Gaza After Ceasefire
Countries around the world have committed $7 billion as a down payment to rebuild Gaza after two years of devastating conflict. The new Board of Peace brings together 47 nations to coordinate reconstruction efforts and humanitarian aid for the war-torn region.
After two years of devastating war reduced Gaza to rubble, 47 nations are coming together with billions of dollars and thousands of peacekeepers to help rebuild the shattered region.
President Trump announced Thursday that countries have already pledged $7 billion toward Gaza reconstruction at the first meeting of the Board of Peace in Washington. The United States alone committed $10 billion to the new international initiative.
The money comes from nations across the Middle East and beyond, including the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Morocco, and Bahrain. The United Nations is adding $2 billion for humanitarian assistance, while FIFA pledged $75 million for soccer projects in Gaza.
Beyond the financial commitments, Indonesia announced it will send up to 8,000 troops to an International Stabilization Force. The force, which will be led by a U.S. general with an Indonesian deputy, aims to help maintain peace as the region rebuilds.
The peacekeeping troops will start work in Rafah, training 12,000 police officers and eventually deploying 20,000 troops total. The goal is to create stability while Gaza transitions to new Palestinian leadership.
The Ripple Effect
This global response shows how international cooperation can mobilize massive resources when nations work together. Over 2,000 Palestinians have already applied to join a new transitional police force, showing local commitment to rebuilding their community.
The reconstruction effort comes after a fragile ceasefire took hold last October, ending two years of conflict. While estimates suggest fully rebuilding Gaza could cost up to $70 billion, the initial $7 billion represents real momentum toward recovery.
"We have to get this right. There is no plan B for Gaza," said U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio at the meeting. "Plan B is going back to war. No one here wants that."
The meeting brought together representatives from dozens of countries committed to helping Gaza's population recover and rebuild their lives after years of hardship.
Forty-seven nations standing together to help a devastated region rebuild offers hope that cooperation can triumph over conflict.
