But they could be tempered by the realities of dealing with Gaza, where there has so far been limited progress in achieving the narrower aims of the ceasefire.<\/p>\n<p>Palestinians, including many civilians, are still being killed in near-daily strikes that Israel says are aimed at militants who threaten or attack its forces. Hamas hasn&#8217;t disarmed, no international forces have deployed, and a Palestinian committee meant to take over from Hamas is stuck in neighboring Egypt.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf this meeting does not result in fast, tangible improvements on the ground \u2014 and particularly on the humanitarian front \u2014 its credibility will quickly crumble,\u201d said Max Rodenbeck, Israel-Palestine Project Director at the International Crisis Group, a global think tank.<\/p>\n<p>More than two dozen nations have signed on as the board&#8217;s founding members.<\/p>\n<p>The list includes Israel and other regional heavyweights involved in ceasefire negotiations, as well as countries from outside the Middle East whose leaders support Trump or hope to gain his favor. U.S. allies like France, Norway and Sweden have so far declined.<\/p>\n<p>Israelis are suspicious of the involvement of Qatar and Turkey, which have longstanding relations with Hamas. Palestinians object because their representatives weren\u2019t invited to the board, even as it weighs the future of a territory that is home to some 2 million of them.<\/p>\n<p>Trump, the self-appointed chairman of the board, said earlier this week that member countries had pledged $5 billion toward rebuilding Gaza and would commit thousands of personnel to peacekeeping and policing. No financial pledges \u2014 or an agenda for this week&#8217;s meeting \u2014 have been made public.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to make it successful. I think it has the chance to be the most consequential board ever assembled of any kind,&quot; Trump told reporters on Monday. He reiterated his criticism of the U.N.&#8217;s record on resolving international disputes.<\/p>\n<p>Trump \u2014 along with son-in-law Jared Kushner and envoy Steve Witkoff \u2014 has laid out ambitious plans for rebuilding Gaza with international investment.<\/p>\n<p>In Davos last month, Kushner suggested reconstruction could be complete in a matter of three years, even though U.N. forecasts suggest that clearing rubble and demining alone could take much longer.<\/p>\n<p>Kushner&#8217;s slides showed a reconstructed Gaza with a coastal tourism strip, industrial zones and data centers. He conceded that rebuilding would begin only in demilitarized areas and that security would be essential to attract investment.<\/p>\n<p>The latest joint estimate by the U.N., European Union and World Bank says reconstruction will cost about $70 billion.<\/p>\n<p>Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said there will be no reconstruction until Hamas disarms, leaving Palestinians in limbo among the widespread devastation.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Subscribe to ITV News on YouTube: http:\/\/bit.ly\/2lOHmNj<br \/>\n\u2022 Get breaking news and more stories at http:\/\/www.itv.com\/news<\/p>\n<p>Follow ITV News on TikTok https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@itvnews?lang=en<br \/>\nFollow ITV News on Instagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/itvnews\/<br \/>\nFollow ITV News on Facebook: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/itvnews\/<br \/>\nFollow ITV News on X: https:\/\/twitter.com\/itvnews<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. President Donald Trump\u2019s Board of Peace is set to meet for the first time on Thursday in Washington, an early test of whether one of his marquee foreign policy initiatives can gain broad support and advance the shaky ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip.
