President Trump is convening the inaugural meeting of his newly formed Board of Peace in Washington, D.C., with representatives from at least 20 countries. The initiative, unveiled at Davos, aims to advance the next phase of the Gaza ceasefire and reconstruction efforts. Discussions will focus on a multi-billion-dollar reconstruction framework, humanitarian coordination, and the potential deployment of an international stabilization force. Several countries have pledged financial support and personnel, including commitments from Italy to train a Gaza police force and Indonesia to contribute troops. However, long-term reconstruction is contingent on security conditions, particularly regarding Hamas' disarmament, a key factor influencing the meeting's overall success.
