Key Takeaways

  • Pledges total $17 billion; less than $1 billion received.
  • Funding shortfall derails the Gaza reconstruction plan.
  • Only UAE, Morocco, and the US have provided funds.

Funding Shortfall

Trump's Board of Peace has received only a tiny fraction of the $17 billion pledged for Gaza reconstruction.

Only three countries—the UAE, Morocco, and the US—have contributed funds.

The funding shortfall has prevented the NCAG from deploying into Gaza.

A Palestinian official quoted board envoy Mladenov as saying, 'No money is currently available.'

The Iran war has affected everything, exacerbating funding difficulties.

The Board of Peace denied funding problems, saying all requests have been met immediately and in full.

NCAG Deployment Blocked

The NCAG was expected to manage Gaza's ministries and security apparatus.

The committee remains stuck in Cairo amid uncertainty over funding and security.

Hamas has repeatedly said it is ready to hand over governance to the NCAG.

The funding bottleneck and security constraints have made entry nearly impossible.

Disarmament talks remain deadlocked.

Reconstruction Costs

Global institutions have projected reconstruction costs could reach $70 billion.

The $17 billion originally sought was intended as a starting point.

The Board of Peace currently holds less than $1 billion.

The funding gap exposes a fundamental shift in international credibility.

The vacuum may be filled by alternative power brokers.
