Trump's Board of Peace unveils $2.45bn plan to begin Gaza's reconstruction
The plan was announced during a meeting of the group's board on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York.
A body known as the Board of Peace, associated with US President Donald Trump's administration, has unveiled a $2.45 billion plan aimed at beginning reconstruction efforts in Gaza.
The announcement was made during a meeting of the board held on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, where world leaders have gathered this week for high-level discussions on a range of global issues.
Details of exactly how the funds would be allocated, and over what timeframe, were not fully outlined in the initial announcement. The plan marks one of the more concrete steps disclosed so far toward addressing the extensive rebuilding needs facing Gaza.
Reconstruction in Gaza has been widely described as a massive undertaking, given the scale of destruction to housing, infrastructure and public services in the territory. Any large-scale rebuilding effort is expected to require sustained international coordination and funding well beyond a single initial pledge.
The announcement comes as the broader question of Gaza's postwar future remains a central topic of discussion among diplomats gathered in New York this week.
