At a high-profile meeting led by Donald Trump, a new “Board of Peace” claimed $7 billion in pledges to rebuild Gaza Strip.
With talk of a future filled with skyscrapers, tech hubs, and seaside resorts.
Sounds ambitious, right? But scratch the surface, and cracks quickly appear.
Yes, countries like Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE have pledged billions.
The U.S. promised a hefty $10 billion—though details remain unclear.
Even FIFA and the United Nations are expected to contribute.
But here’s the catch: no Palestinian representatives are on the board. Many Western allies are missing.
And the total cost? It could soar to $70 billion.
Security Control Question
Then comes the biggest question—security. Trump insists Hamas must disarm.
Benjamin Netanyahu echoes that: no disarmament, no rebuilding. Yet Hamas signals only cautious openness.
Meanwhile, talk of an international force and troop deployments adds another layer of uncertainty.
“It’s a bold vision,” one observer might say—but is it realistic without stability?
Rebuilding cities is one thing. Rebuilding trust, power, and peace? That’s the real challenge.
Because before the towers rise, one question remains: who actually controls the ground they’ll stand on?
