Feb. 16 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump said member states of his newly created Board of Peace have pledged more than $5 billion toward rebuilding Gaza and thousands of personnel to maintain security in the Palestinian enclave.
Trump said in a post on his Truth Social media platform on Sunday that the pledge will be officially announced on Thursday during the inaugural meeting of the board at the U.S. Institute of Peace in Washington, D.C.
"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," Trump said.
Specifics such as how much and what each member state pledged were not made public.
