Trump told US Congress to provide $206 million for Gaza peacekeeping force, letters show
Trump set up a Board of Peace to oversee his ambitious plan to end Israel's war in Gaza and rebuild the shattered territory.
President Donald Trump's administration has informed Congress that they will provide over $206 million for a proposed Gaza peacekeeping force, marking the first significant funding for the US plan to rebuild the devastated enclave. The funding, outlined in two July notifications addressed to key committees, will be used for the International Stabilization Force's (ISF) equipment, infrastructure, vehicles, and operational costs, with an additional $6 million allocated to repurpose US armored vehicles.
The ISF will lead security operations, support demilitarization, and facilitate the safe delivery of humanitarian aid and reconstruction materials to Gaza. However, the plan has faced setbacks as both Israel and Hamas have refused to fulfill the conditions needed for the deal to move forward, with recent meetings between Trump's envoy and both sides yielding no breakthrough.
