Donald Trump launches his peace council and presents a reconstruction plan for Gaza. Fifa is also one of the donors. Trump’s announcements at a glance.
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs would also provide $2 billion to support the Gaza Strip. The world football association FIFA also wants to donate $75 million to football-related projects in Gaza, Trump said. According to him, the USA will provide $10 billion for the Peace Council.
Significantly more money is needed to rebuild the Gaza Strip than Trump has now announced: the total requirement is estimated at $70 billion. The aid now promised would only cover a small part of this.
The Peace Council is supposed to set up the so-called International Stabilization Force (ISF), which is supposed to ensure order in the Gaza Strip.
According to Trump, five countries want to send soldiers to the Gaza Strip: Morocco, Albania, Kosovo, Kazakhstan and Indonesia. Several Muslim-majority countries had previously signaled their willingness to provide soldiers, but so far only Indonesia has made a concrete announcement. The Southeast Asian country has promised to send 5,000 to 8,000 soldiers. It was not initially announced how many soldiers the other countries wanted to send.
ISF Major General Jasper Jeffers said in Washington that a total of 20,000 soldiers should be deployed in the long term. Initially, emergency forces will be stationed in Rafah in the south of the Gaza Strip, and later in other areas. According to Trump, the international force should also secure the ceasefire in the war between Israel and Hamas and ensure lasting peace.
