The US-backed Board of Peace has proposed a six-month plan worth $2.45 billion to begin reconstruction and governance work in Gaza, ABC News reported. The proposal comes as President Donald Trump’s ceasefire plan faces difficulties remaining in place, according to the report. The available material describes the blueprint as an initial programme rather than a completed reconstruction effort.

It does not specify how the funds would be raised, who would administer them or which projects would be prioritised. It also does not provide details about the proposed governance arrangements or explain the obstacles affecting the ceasefire plan. The report gives no further information about reactions from Palestinian, Israeli or other governments and organisations.
