Trump's Gaza 'Board of Peace' Fund Receives Zero Deposits Despite $1B+ Pledges

Former President Trump's reconstruction fund for Gaza, officially dubbed the 'Board of Peace,' has collected no deposits despite pledges exceeding $4 billion from the United States, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, according to WION reporting. Trump had committed $10 billion from the U.S. government, while Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE each pledged at least $1 billion, with the board's charter requiring $1 billion minimum contributions for permanent membership. The gap between pledges and actual funding raises questions about the viability of the reconstruction effort in a region where humanitarian needs remain acute. The reported non-payment by signatories suggests either delays in fund transfer mechanisms, political hesitation among donor nations, or questions about the board's operational credibility.
