TREE NEWS update: US President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace announced a $2.45 billion Gaza recovery plan, nearly a year after Israel and Hamas reached a ceasefire that formally ended the two-year war. At a briefing in New York on Wednesday, board representatives said the funds had been “directly or indirectly pledged,” a fraction of the $71 billion the board estimates full reconstruction requires. The plan covers 66 projects over six months, including temporary housing, rubble removal and repairs to hospitals and other infrastructure.
Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’ Announces $2.45B Gaza Recovery Plan
The gap between pledged and required funding is the real story here: a six-month, 66-project package against a reconstruction bill many times larger suggests this is a stabilisation phase, not a rebuild. The language of funds pledged "directly or indirectly" also leaves the actual cash position unclear. Whether those pledges convert into disbursed capital — and whether the project list expands beyond emergency housing and rubble clearance — is the open question for anyone tracking Gaza's recovery economics.
