Trump's Board of Peace to Hold First Meeting in Washington on Gaza Fundraising
Trump's Board of Peace schedules its first Washington meeting on Feb. 19 to raise funds for Gaza reconstruction and discuss its diplomatic approach.
In Washington on February 19, the board known as the Board of Peace is slated to hold its first meeting with fundraising for Gaza reconstruction at the Institute for Peace. The aims are described as mobilizing international donors and leadership to support humanitarian relief and rebuilding in Gaza, according to officials familiar with the plan.
The roster reportedly includes world leaders invited by former President Trump to join the board, plus an executive committee focused on Gaza issues. Supporters say the forum could accelerate aid, while critics in some allied capitals question its authority and the decision-making process outside traditional channels.
Officials emphasize fundraising as the immediate focus, but the initiative has already sparked debate about legitimacy and coordination with existing humanitarian agencies and governments. The meeting would mark a symbolic step in a broader push to address Gaza's needs amid ongoing conflict and regional tensions.
Observers note the optics of a private, donor-driven gathering in Washington, especially if participation remains unclear. As February approaches, many will watch who attends, what proposals emerge, and whether the board can translate dialogue into concrete support for Gaza.
