In a significant update, President Donald Trump reiterated that the 'Board of Peace' will officially announce its pledged $5 billion for humanitarian efforts in Gaza during its inaugural meeting on February 19, 2026, in Washington, D.C. Trump emphasized the board's potential impact, stating, "The Board of Peace will prove to be the most consequential International Body in History, and it is my honor to serve as its Chairman." This initiative aims to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where over 72,000 Palestinians have reportedly been killed and much of the infrastructure destroyed due to ongoing violence. Indonesian officials confirmed their readiness to deploy the first 1,000 non-combat troops to Gaza by April, with a total of 8,000 troops prepared for deployment by June, as part of the UN-mandated International Stabilisation Force. Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is expected to advocate for Palestinian protection and sustainable peace based on a two-state solution during the meeting, while also signing a tariff agreement with the United States.
