Trump to preside over first meeting of Board of Peace with many Gaza questions unresolved

President Donald Trump will open the first meeting of his Board of Peace on Thursday at the Donald J. Trump U.S. Institute of Peace, as unresolved questions over Gaza hang in the air. He is set to announce $5 billion pledged for reconstruction, including $1.2 billion each from the UAE and Kuwait, and plans for an International Stabilization Force, though deployment awaits Hamas disarmament. Delegations from 47 countries and the EU will attend, but most U.N. Security Council powers will not. The board includes Israel but no Palestinian representatives and faces dire aid and security hurdles.
