White House Plans Meeting for Gaza Board of Peace to Advance Reconstruction Efforts
The White House is organizing a meeting with leaders of the Gaza Board of Peace, as reported by Axios. Scheduled for February 19, the meeting aims to raise funds for the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip and to implement the second phase of President Trump's Gaza peace deal. The meeting is planned to take place at the Donald Trump Institute of Peace, formerly known as the USIP. The Trump administration is working to gather world leaders for this event, despite previous challenges in securing support from Western allies due to skepticism about the Board of Peace's effectiveness. The meeting's plans are still in the early stages and subject to change. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to meet with President Trump in Washington on February 18, a day before the fundraising event, amid ongoing tensions over the implementation of the Gaza ceasefire.
