US President Donald Trump said on Sunday that the member states of his so-called "Board of Peace" have pledged more than $5 billion (4.2 billion) for reconstruction and humanitarian efforts in Gaza. In a post on his Truth Social platform, the US president announced that he will formally unveil the pledges when the board meets in Washington on Thursday. The event is expected to draw delegations from more than 20 countries, including heads of state.
News of a ceasefire plan to bring Israel's two-year-long campaign of genocide in Gaza to an end has been gaining traction, according to reports, and is expected to feature when United States President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meet at the White House on Monday. Trump's 21-point plan would end Israel's war on Gaza, which has killed at least 66,055 people and wounded 168,346 since it began in October 2023. Thousands more are believed to be dead and trapped under the rubble.
