Trump's Gaza Board of Peace gains backing a year after ceasefire

Fox News reported on 13 October 2026 that the EU had gathered about US$1 billion for early recovery in Gaza, with projects to be signed with UNDP and UNICEF. It also cited BBC reporting of about US$18 billion in reconstruction pledges. The UN Security Council had authorised the Board of Peace's transitional Gaza role through 2027, subject to further Council action. These recovery funds are separate from the charter's contribution threshold for exemption from three-year membership terms. Hamas disarmament and implementation of security arrangements remained unresolved.
