Countries pledge funds, police and troops to Board of Peace; Qatar, UAE, Morocco and others announce major contributions

Multiple countries used the inaugural Board of Peace meeting to announce financial commitments, personnel pledges and in‑kind support for Gaza's stabilization and rebuilding.

Major financial pledges and fundraising: Presenters said combined pledges exceeded $6.5 billion at the time of the signing. Specific announcements included Qatar's pledge of $1,000,000,000 and the United Arab Emirates' pledge of $1,200,000,000; officials said many other nations had committed funds or in-kind support.

Troop and police commitments: Several countries offered personnel for the International Stabilization Force and training for police. Morocco, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Albania and Indonesia were named as initial contributors to the ISF or related training roles; Egypt and Jordan offered to train police personnel. Indonesia said it could contribute up to 8,000 troops if necessary.

World Bank fund and oversight: Ajay Banga described a Gaza Reconstruction and Development Fund at the World Bank to receive and manage donor funds; he emphasized transparency and the need for controls that would allow leveraging public finance and de‑risking private investment.

FIFA partnership: FIFA's president announced a partnership to build pitches, academies and stadium infrastructure in Gaza as part of community and youth programs, listing estimated costs and program elements.

"Qatar pledges $1,000,000,000 in support to the board," the Qatari representative said.

"The UAE announces a further $1,200,000,000 for supporting Gaza through the Board of Peace," the UAE deputy prime minister said.

What to watch: Donor pledges will need to be transferred into operational funding arrangements; the World Bank fund's governance documents and disbursement criteria are expected to be published. Pledged personnel will require vetting and deployment plans that meet host-country and international legal requirements.
