President Trump said members of the Board of Peace have committed $5 billion toward Gaza reconstruction efforts.
The official announcement is set for later this week, President Trump wrote on Truth Social. “On February 19th, 2026, I will again be joined by Board of Peace Members at the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace in Washington, D.C., where we will announce that Member States have pledged more than $5 BILLION DOLLARS toward the Gaza Humanitarian and Reconstruction efforts, and have committed thousands of personnel to the International Stabilization Force and Local Police to maintain Security and Peace for Gazans,” he said on the social media platform.
“Very importantly, Hamas must uphold its commitment to Full and Immediate Demilitarization,” Trump noted. “The Board of Peace will prove to be the most consequential International Body in History, and it is my honor to serve as its Chairman.”
Meanwhile, Indonesia announced that it could deploy as many as 8,000 troops to Gaza as part of the peacekeeping initiative. “In principle, we are ready to be assigned anywhere,” Army spokesperson Brig. Gen. Donny Pramono told the Associated Press. “Our troops are fully prepared and can be dispatched at short notice once the government gives formal approval.”
Countries involved in the Board of Peace include, as per the Council on Foreign Relations, Argentina, Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Belarus, Cambodia, Morocco, Mongolia, Vietnam, Pakistan, Paraguay, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kosovo, Hungary, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Turkey, Qatar, Jordan, Indonesia, Israel, and Saudi Arabia.
Upon the board’s formation in January, President Trump said, “This board has the chance to be one of the most consequential bodies ever created, and it’s my enormous honor to serve as its chairman. I was very honored when they asked me to do it.” He added, “We had an idea to do it, and then they came, they said, ‘Would you be the chairman?’ … I take it very seriously. We have a great group of people and incredible young people that are leading it from within.”
