Board To Unveil $5 Billion In Gaza Reconstruction Pledges

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — President Donald Trump says that members of his newly created Board of Peace have pledged $5 billion toward rebuilding Gaza and will commit thousands of personnel to international stabilization and police forces for the territory. Trump said Sunday that the pledges will be formally announced when members of the board gather for their first meeting Thursday in Washington. Trump isn’t detailing which board member nations are making the pledges for reconstruction or would contribute personnel to the stabilization force. But Indonesia’s military says up to 8,000 of its troops are expected to be ready by the end of June for a potential deployment to Gaza.
