The Board of Peace, established by Donald Trump, is struggling with funding issues amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Despite a pledge of $17 billion for reconstruction and governance, the board has reportedly received less than $1 billion from only three countries: the United Arab Emirates, Morocco, and the United States. The funding crisis has hindered the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG) from entering the region, where four-fifths of the infrastructure has been destroyed due to Israeli bombardments. The projected cost for Gaza's rehabilitation is around $70 billion. The board's envoy, Nickolay Mladenovas, informed Palestinian factions that no funding is currently available, complicating efforts to transfer governance from Hamas to NCAG, led by Ali Shaath. Disarmament talks between Hamas and Israel remain stalled, raising concerns about a potential escalation in violence as Israeli military officials prepare for a possible return to full-scale war.
