Trump Hosts Board Of Peace Meeting in Washington

3 weeks ago
President Trump will host a Board of Peace meeting today in Washington, where he will announce that member states have pledged more than $5 billion for reconstruction and humanitarian efforts in Gaza.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Wednesday that more than 20 countries would participate in the gathering.

She added that the president would give details on the financial package:

"He will announce that member states have pledged more than $5 billion towards the Gaza humanitarian and reconstruction efforts and have also committed thousands of personnel to the international stabilization force and local police to maintain security and peace for Gazans."

Asked about the Vatican's decision not to participate in the initiative, Leavitt called the move "deeply unfortunate."
