US-backed Gaza board proposes $2.45bn opening reconstruction plan
The US-backed Board of Peace has proposed a six-month, $2.45 billion programme to begin reconstruction and governance work in Gaza. The plan includes 66 projects across infrastructure, education and health, although the group acknowledged that major obstacles remain as the ceasefire proposal faces pressure.
The US-backed Board of Peace has proposed a six-month plan worth $2.45 billion to begin reconstruction and governance work in Gaza, according to the South China Morning Post. The proposal was presented at a meeting of the board’s governors. It contains a blueprint of 66 projects intended to start the rebuilding process while supporting US President Donald Trump’s 20-point plan to end the conflict.
The proposed projects include initiatives in infrastructure, education and health. The supplied material does not specify the projects’ locations, the expected beneficiaries or how the programme would be financed and implemented. The board acknowledged that substantial obstacles still need to be overcome.
The report said Trump’s ceasefire plan was struggling to stay afloat, but did not provide details of the difficulties or the parties involved in the discussions. No timetable beyond the proposed six-month period was supplied. The material also does not say whether the plan has secured approval from Gaza’s authorities or other parties.
The proposal therefore represents an announced framework rather than a confirmed reconstruction programme.
