U.S. President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace is set to present a detailed six-month recovery plan for Gaza valued at $2.45 billion during a meeting of its members on Wednesday, according to a report by Axios that cited a copy of the document.
The proposal outlines 66 projects covering temporary housing, rubble and unexploded ordnance clearance, hospital repairs, economic recovery measures, and the deployment of a multinational security force.
Axios reported that a Board of Peace official described the plan as showing “how to stand up a government from nothing, an economy from shambles and a territory from disaster.”
The White House and the U.S. Department of State did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the Axios report.

Scope of the Six-Month Plan
The document estimates physical damage across Gaza at $35.2 billion. It projects that full recovery and reconstruction will require approximately $71.4 billion over the next decade.
Infrastructure forms the largest category in the initial package, accounting for roughly $1 billion. That includes about $400 million for temporary shelters for displaced residents, $275 million for clearing rubble and unexploded ordnance, $50 million for hospital rehabilitation, and $30 million to repair damaged roads.
Additional elements call for repairing border crossings, restoring electricity and water systems, distributing 25,000 portable solar power kits, and permanently filling tunnels located beneath sites prioritized for early reconstruction work. Security-related projects account for a substantial portion of the budget as well, supporting the multinational force and related facilities.
The Board of Peace and the Palestinian technocratic government have not yet secured the full $2.45 billion. Officials expressed confidence that donor countries would contribute once political obstacles are removed.
Recent US Funding Step
In late July, the Trump administration notified Congress that it is providing more than $206 million for a proposed Gaza peacekeeping force.
State Department notifications dated July 30 outlined $200 million for equipment, infrastructure, vehicles, and operational costs of the International Stabilization Force, plus roughly $6 million to repurpose U.S. armored vehicles.
This marked the first significant U.S. funding commitment toward the stalled reconstruction effort.

Background on the Board of Peace
Trump established the Board of Peace to oversee implementation of his comprehensive plan aimed at ending the war in Gaza and guiding postwar recovery.
The body received formal backing through a United Nations Security Council resolution in late 2025 that endorsed the U.S.-brokered framework and authorized the board as a transitional administration to coordinate redevelopment funding and security arrangements through at least the end of 2027.
The board’s inaugural meeting took place in February 2026, where Trump announced a U.S. pledge of $10 billion and additional commitments totaling about $7 billion from other countries for relief and reconstruction. Member states and observers discussed early reconstruction concepts, security force deployment, and the creation of a Palestinian-led National Committee for the Administration of Gaza to handle day-to-day governance under board supervision.

A more detailed roadmap released by the board at the end of July 2026 outlined steps for demilitarization, Israeli force withdrawals linked to verified progress, and the transfer of authority to the Palestinian technocratic body. The roadmap reaffirmed commitment to the original peace framework and stressed Palestinian ownership of the recovery process.
Progress has remained limited. An agreement announced in late July encountered delays, with Israel declining to meet certain conditions required to advance the deal. Both Israeli and Hamas positions have complicated moves on disarmament, force deployment, and governance transition. Earlier funding pledges also faced implementation challenges, with reports indicating that large-scale deposits into designated accounts were slower than initially projected.
Board officials have continued planning for an International Stabilization Force drawn from multiple countries to support security, aid delivery, and the training of local police. The current six-month recovery proposal represents the most detailed public outline yet of immediate priorities for housing, basic services, and economic restart once political conditions allow work to begin.
The Board of Peace meeting on Wednesday is expected to formalize the plan among its members, which include more than two dozen countries. Implementation timelines remain tied to resolving the outstanding political hurdles with the parties on the ground.
