thebalanced.newsTrump's Gaza Board Highlights Funding Gap, Calls for Faster Disbursement
The U.S.-backed Board of Peace, established under former President Trump to oversee Gaza's reconstruction, reported a funding gap between pledged and disbursed amounts in a May 15 report to the U.N. Security Council. While $17 billion has been pledged by countries including the U.S., Saudi Arabia, and Qatar, the board urged quicker disbursement to implement reconstruction plans estimated to cost over $70 billion. The board denied claims of funding constraints, describing itself as execution-focused and calling for accelerated contributions from member states.
