Trump’s Board of Peace drops full Gaza recovery plan in favour of tiny pilot scheme
Summary
The plan led by President Trump’s Board of Peace to rebuild Gaza has been greatly reduced from a large-scale recovery project to a small pilot program in southern Gaza. Progress on this pilot camp, meant to include Palestinian administration and a small international security force, is slow and may not begin until after Israeli elections in late October. Tensions remain high, with ongoing Israeli military actions and uncertainty about future peace efforts.Key Facts
