5 Takeaways From Trump’s Board of Peace Launch Event

Nearly 50 countries attended despite some European absences; the U.S. pledged $10 billion and nine nations committed $7 billion for Gaza relief, highlighting divided international support.

  • On Thursday, President Donald Trump convened the inaugural Board of Peace in Washington, D.C., with officials from nearly 50 countries attending and 27 joining the board.
  • Created as part of Trump's 20-point peace plan, the U.S.-led forum aims to expand beyond Gaza, with the administration emphasizing its forward-looking purpose and U.N. management urged by Vatican officials.
  • Nine member countries pledged $7 billion and the United States pledged $10 billion; Gen. Jasper Jeffers said the force plans for 12,000 police and 20,000 soldiers will help bring needed security.
  • With the truce under strain, diplomats warned the gains may be temporary, and aid and security depend on steady diplomatic progress, affecting civilians in Gaza and Israel.
  • Rising Iran-related tensions and talk of new U.S. military options have added pressure, while pledged aid covers only a portion of the $70 billion estimated rebuilding need.
