The Board of Peace, established by U.S. President Donald Trump to manage the reconstruction of Gaza, has become embroiled in legal and political challenges just four months after its launch. Despite member states pledging $7 billion for relief efforts, reports indicate that the fund has not received any actual contributions, with a source stating that 'zero dollars have been deposited.' Donations intended for the board were instead routed to a JPMorgan account, bypassing the World Bank's oversight. Financial commitments from Morocco and the UAE remain unused, and no contracts for reconstruction projects have been awarded due to ongoing issues, including Hamas's disarmament. The U.S. State Department is redirecting approximately $1.2 billion in aid to support the board's objectives, but this funding will not be managed by the board itself. As a result, no tangible progress has been made in rebuilding Gaza, which is estimated to require over $70 billion over the next decade. Lawmakers in Washington are seeking clarity on the board's legal status and operational framework amidst growing concerns about its alignment with existing international efforts.
