In a significant development, the inaugural meeting of the Board of Peace, led by US President Donald Trump, took place on February 19, 2026, in Washington, focusing on the reconstruction of Gaza following a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Trump announced a staggering $10 billion commitment for Gaza's reconstruction, with contributions from several Muslim-majority nations, including $4 billion pledged by Gulf countries. Indonesia has committed to sending up to 8,000 troops for the International Stabilization Force (ISF) to ensure security and aid in the reconstruction efforts. However, Hamas has firmly stated that any discussions regarding Gaza's future must start with a complete halt to Israeli 'aggression' and the lifting of the blockade. Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem remarked, 'Any political process or any arrangement under discussion concerning the Gaza Strip and the future of our Palestinian people must start with the total halt of aggression.' This sentiment reflects the ongoing tension, as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insists that Hamas must disarm before any reconstruction can commence, stating, 'We agreed with our ally the US that there will be no reconstruction of Gaza before the demilitarization of Gaza.'
