One year ago, President Trump brokered a historic ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, launching a comprehensive peace plan that has garnered unexpected global support.1

Since then, the Board of Peace has reported $2.45 billion allocated for reconstruction efforts, including 66 initiatives aimed at rebuilding Gaza.67

Senior advisor Josh Gruenbaum attributes the success to Trump's leadership, stating, "created working relationships with regional actors with trust, overlaid with peace through strength."

Humanitarian assistance has increased, with food support reaching more Palestinians as Hamas's theft of aid has dwindled.

However, rebuilding Gaza remains a challenging, multi-year process.

Gruenbaum emphasized that deradicalization will not be a top-down process but managed through the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG).

The Board of Peace has also made it clear that the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) will not be involved in Gaza's future, stating that it "fails on those litmus tests."

European Union Commissioner Dubravka Šuica announced that about $1 billion has been gathered for early recovery projects, aligning with the Board of Peace's priorities.5

The International Stabilization Force is set to train a future police force in Gaza, with commitments from several countries.

As the reconstruction program unfolds, the Board of Peace remains focused on creating a demilitarized Gaza where Palestinians can thrive without Hamas rule.
