Trump’s Board of Peace painted a rosy picture of Gaza’s future. On the ground, there is only despair

- No timeline was given for reconstruction, and clearing rubble with unexploded ordnance could take years while Gaza's Ministry of Health reports over 600 Palestinians killed since the truce.
- The pledges amount to far less than the $70 billion reconstruction estimate, with more than 72,000 killed since the Oct. 7, 2023 attack and no large-scale rebuilding yet.

Trump's Board of Peace painted a rosy picture of Gaza's future. On the ground, there is only despair

This body, created and intended by Donald Trump, must guarantee peace in Gaza first, then in all regions of the world affected or threatened by conflicts. The "Peace Council" has become a reality, celebrated by the American President and the leaders of the countries that have willingly participated. But many first-rate powers do not adhere to it.
