Today, Washington is set to host what could be a pivotal moment in shaping Gaza’s future. The inaugural meeting of the Board of Peace will take place under Donald Trump’s leadership, gathering representatives from over 45 nations to work on turning a fragile ceasefire into a solid plan for recovery and stability.

The scale of participation will itself signal the seriousness of this initiative. Countries from Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and beyond—including Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Indonesia—will sit down together to tackle issues of reconstruction, security, and governance in Gaza. This wide-ranging involvement will highlight that the responsibility for peace is a shared one, not just resting on a single capital.

At the core of today’s discussions are three vital priorities: rebuilding the devastated infrastructure in Gaza, ensuring a steady flow of humanitarian aid, and putting in place reliable security measures to prevent a relapse into conflict. More than 25 member states from the Board of Peace have pledged over $5 billion for humanitarian relief and reconstruction efforts. Additional details about the reconstruction fund’s size, structure, and oversight will be outlined during the session.
