US President Donald Trump said the Board of Peace’s member states have committed billions of dollars to Gaza’s reconstruction, as well as thousands of personnel to a UN-authorized stabilization force.

US President Donald Trump said on Sunday that the member states of his so-called "Board of Peace" have pledged more than USD 5 billion (Euro 4.2 billion) ‌ for reconstruction and humanitarian efforts in Gaza.

In a post on his Truth Social platform, the US president announced that he will formally unveil the pledges when the board meets in Washington on Thursday.

The event is expected to draw delegations from more than 20 countries, including heads of state.

Reconstruction of Gaza is expected to cost USD 70 billion, according to United Nations, World Bank and European Union estimates, after more than two years of war.

The US-brokered October 10 ceasefire calls for an armed international force to provide security and disarm Hamas, but few nations have expressed interest.

Trump wrote that the member states of the board have committed thousands of personnel to the UN-authorized international stabilization and police force in the Palestinian enclave, calling the board "the most consequential international body in history."

He didn't name which countries were planning to contribute.

Indonesia's military, however, confirmed on Sunday it expects up to 8,000 troops to be ready by late June for a possible peace and humanitarian mission, the first concrete commitment to the proposed force.

Trump Calls on Hamas to Disarm

Trump is also urging Hamas to move ahead with full disarmament under his postwar plan for Gaza.

"Very importantly, Hamas must uphold its commitment to full and immediate demilitarization," he wrote in his Truth Social post.

Disarmament is an important part of the second phase of the US-mediated ceasefire plan that was agreed in October between Israel and Hamas.

This plan aims to end the conflict that began after Hamas attacked Israel in October 2023.

The second phase stipulates that Israeli forces will gradually withdraw from Gaza, and that Hamas will disarm. An international stabilization force will be deployed to ensure security.

Although Hamas has indicated it could consider handing over its weapons to a future Palestinian governing authority, it has repeatedly said that disarmament is a red line.

Both parties accuse each other on a daily basis of ceasefire violations. According to Gaza's Health Ministry, Israeli troops have killed more than 590 Palestinians in the territory since the ceasefire began.

During the same period, Israel reported that four of its soldiers were killed by Palestinian militants.
