The Board of Peace has warned that reconstruction efforts in the Gaza Strip are at risk as countries that pledged billions of dollars have yet to deliver most of the promised funds. Although more than 17 billion dollars was announced during a February fundraising conference in Washington, only about one percent has been transferred so far, according to officials familiar with the matter. In a recent report to the United Nations Security Council, the board stressed the urgent need to close the gap between commitments and actual payments.

Several Gulf countries pledged at least 1 billion dollars each, while the United States promised 10 billion dollars. The United Arab Emirates is among the few to have transferred funds, sending 100 million dollars to support the training of a new Gaza police force. However, delays persist, including uncertainty over whether recruits who leave Gaza for training will be allowed to return.

Efforts to secure additional funding have included a proposal to redirect a portion of Palestinian tax revenues withheld by Israel to the Board of Peace, but the idea was rejected by Israel's finance minister. Meanwhile, broader implementation of President Donald Trump's 20-point plan to end the war remains stalled, with the board citing Hamas's refusal to disarm as the main obstacle. Ongoing ceasefire violations and stalled negotiations have further complicated progress toward reconstruction and governance reforms in Gaza.
