Trump’s Board of Peace: Billions Pledged, Zero Dollars Deposited for Gaza Relief

The Daily Beast reports that Trump’s Board of Peace, created to coordinate Gaza relief and governance, has received no real funding despite nine countries pledging over $9 billion. Only minor contributions—$100 million from the UAE and $20 million from Morocco—have materialized, and those funds are frozen or allocated to offices and police training. The State Department reportedly redirected about $1.2 billion toward Board-related projects, but none has been spent by the Board, and no U.S. dollars have gone to rebuilding Gaza. The board has yet to award contracts or establish on-the-ground governance, with donors and critics warning that progress is lacking and there is no clear authority in Gaza to manage the plan.
