The "Council of Peace," an entity established by former U.S. President Donald Trump, has unveiled a six-month plan for the initial recovery of the Gaza Strip, with an estimated cost of $2.45 billion. The proposal, presented on September 23 on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York, outlines 66 projects ranging from temporary housing and debris removal to the disarmament of Hamas, the establishment of new Palestinian police forces, and the deployment of an international contingent.
Approximately $1 billion is earmarked for infrastructure, including $400 million for temporary housing, $275 million for clearing rubble and unexploded ordnance, $50 million for hospital restoration, and $30 million for road repairs. The plan also includes restoring water and electricity, and installing 25,000 mobile solar power systems.
Security initiatives account for about $885 million. This includes $140 million for forming and equipping a five-thousand-strong International Stabilization Force contingent based in Rafah, and $120 million for creating new Palestinian police forces. An additional $20 million is allocated for a voluntary weapons surrender program for militants.
Future plans involve transferring control of Gaza's border crossings to a Palestinian technocratic government. The program also encompasses digital identification, electronic payments, 4G network deployment, healthcare and education system recovery, and the establishment of a Gaza investment fund.
However, the plan's implementation faces significant uncertainty, hinging on the disarmament of Hamas and the transfer of power to a Palestinian technocratic administration. Israel insists on disarmament before any troop withdrawal, while the Council's mechanism suggests phased, reciprocal steps. Representatives from 35 nations, the European Union, and the UN attended the presentation, with Council officials urging donor countries to fund specific projects as not all necessary funds have been secured.
