During the inaugural meeting of President Donald Trump's 'Board of Peace' on February 19, 2026, significant pledges for Gaza's reconstruction were announced, with member nations committing a total of $7 billion and the U.S. pledging an additional $10 billion. Notably, Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif emphasized the need for a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination, advocating for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state in line with UN resolutions. However, skepticism remains as Trump claimed it 'looks like' Hamas will disarm, despite evidence indicating the group is consolidating its power in Gaza, including placing loyalists in key government roles and maintaining control over tax collection and salaries (South China Morning Post). The Board of Peace aims to achieve a durable ceasefire and implement a comprehensive peace framework under UN Security Council Resolution 2803, but ongoing Israeli airstrikes and Hamas's strengthening governance raise doubts about the Board's effectiveness.
