Live updates: Board of Peace members pledge $7 billion for Gaza relief
Speaking before representatives from nearly 50 countries, President Donald Trump announced Thursday at the inaugural Board of Peace meeting that nine members have agreed to pledge a combined $7 billion toward a Gaza relief package.
The countries making the pledges are Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, UAE, Morocco, Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan and Kuwait, Trump said.
The amount, while significant, represents a fraction of the estimated $70 billion needed to rebuild war-battered Palestinian territory, where a shaky ceasefire deal looms over Trump’s ambitions for his board to rival the United Nations in solving world conflicts.

In the interest of creating an international stabilization force, Indonesia, Morocco, Kazakhstan, Kosovo and Albania pledged to send thousands of troops to Gaza, according to Maj. Gen. Jasper Jeffers, the commander of the international security force. Egypt and Jordan have committed to train police.
