"US President Donald Trump launched the inaugural meeting of his "Board of Peace" on Thursday, with representatives from over 40 countries and observers from a dozen others present. Trump said that $7 billion (just under 6 billion) had been pledged by nine members of the organization for a Gaza relief package. That amounts to just 10% of the $70 billion needed to rebuild after the devastation of two years of war."
"The US president also pledged $10 billion, but without saying where that money would go. Who has pledged money to the Board of Peace? Trump said Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, UAE, Morocco, Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan and Kuwait were the countries offering to fund the Board of Peace relief package for Gaza. "Every dollar spent is an investment in stability and the hope of new and harmonious [region]," the US president said."

Nine members pledged $7 billion for a Gaza relief package, about 10% of the $70 billion estimated rebuilding need. The United States pledged $10 billion without specifying recipients. Trump listed Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, UAE, Morocco, Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan and Kuwait as funders. Indonesia, Morocco, Kazakhstan, Kosovo and Albania said they would send troops for a Gaza stabilization force. The Board emerged from a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, yet violence has continued and critics warn it may overshadow the UN amid US funding withdrawals.
