Humiliating Reality of Trump’s Giant Peace Grift Exposed
The Daily Beast • • world
Key Points:
- Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace,” established to aid Gaza’s reconstruction, has received billions in pledges but no substantial funding has been deposited into its World Bank-backed fund.
- Of the nine countries pledging over $9 billion, only the UAE and Morocco have sent funds, with Morocco contributing $20 million for administrative support and the UAE providing $100 million for police training, which remains frozen.
- The U.S. State Department pledged to redirect $1.2 billion in aid toward projects linked to the board, but none of this money has been managed or spent by the Board of Peace.
- The board has not yet initiated reconstruction or security contracts in Gaza, citing Hamas’ refusal to disarm and the lack of a governing authority to manage aid delivery on the ground.
- Donor reluctance is compounded by the ongoing regional instability, including Trump’s war in Iran, with sources indicating that financial backers are hesitant to engage without tangible progress or security assurances.
