WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump will convene the inaugural Board of Peace meeting, during which member states will announce over $5 billion in investment for Gaza reconstruction and related security measures.

Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is also set to attend the inaugural Board of Peace meeting on Thursday, with delegations from over 40 nations, including India.

Convened by President Donald Trump, the administration has positioned the Board of Peace as a central mechanism to oversee humanitarian relief, reconstruction, and security arrangements in Gaza.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters that member states “have pledged more than $5 billion towards the Gaza humanitarian and reconstruction efforts, and have also committed thousands of personnel to the International Stabilisation Force and local police to maintain security and peace for Gazans.”
