WASHINGTON – US President Donald Trump on Monday outlined Gaza Peace plans for a major international push to stabilize and rebuild Gaza, announced that member states have pledged over $5 billion toward humanitarian and reconstruction efforts in a statement posted on Truth Social.
Trump said the initiative would be formally advanced on February 19, 2026, at the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace in Washington, DC, where members of what he described as the “Board of Peace” are expected to convene.
“The Board of Peace has unlimited potential,” Trump wrote.
He added that member states have committed “more than USD 5 Billion Dollars toward the Gaza Humanitarian and Reconstruction efforts” and pledged thousands of personnel to serve in an International Stabilization Force and local policing units to maintain security in Gaza.
Trump said he had released a plan last October to permanently end the conflict in Gaza, claimed that the vision was unanimously adopted by the UN Security Council.
He stated that his initiative facilitated humanitarian aid “at record speed” and secured the release of all living and deceased hostages.
The details of the plan’s adoption and implementation were not immediately available, media reported
Trump characterized the developments as a breakthrough in addressing one of the Middle East’s most protracted conflicts.
He also referenced a gathering in Davos where two dozen founding members reportedly joined him to formally launch the Board of Peace and present what he called a “bold Vision for the Civilians in Gaza, and then, ultimately, far beyond Gaza, WORLD PEACE!”
According to Trump the initiative not only to rebuild Gaza civilian infrastructure but also to create a broader framework for international peace and security cooperation.
He emphasized that any lasting peace would require compliance from Hamas.
“Very importantly, Hamas must uphold its commitment to Full and Immediate Demilitarization,” he wrote, signaling that disarmament would be a central condition of the stabilization effort.
Hamas has been engaged in repeated conflicts with Israel, has not publicly responded to the latest remarks, media reported.
Gaza has endured years of conflict, political instability, and humanitarian crises, with repeated cycles of violence severely damaging infrastructure and displacing civilians. International efforts to broker ceasefires and fund reconstruction have historically faced obstacles, including security concerns, political divisions, and questions over governance.
Trump described the Board of Peace as potentially “the most consequential International Body in History,” adding, “It is my honor to serve as its Chairman.”
The composition of the Board, participating member states, and the structure of the proposed stabilization force are expected to be announced at theevent in Washington on Feb 19, according to the White House.
