Scoop: Trump's Board of Peace to unveil $2.45 billion Gaza recovery plan

President Trump's Board of Peace will unveil a six-month, $2.45 billion recovery plan for Gaza at a meeting of its members on Wednesday.Why it matters: The 66-project proposal offers one of the most comprehensive roadmaps yet for what the early months of post-war reconstruction and governance in Gaza would look like.The plan is a result of a year of work by dozens of people both on the Board of Peace, which includes 28 member countries, and in the Palestinian technocratic government.It includes projected spending for temporary housing, rubble removal, hospital repairs, economic recovery and the deployment of a multinational security force, according to a copy of the plan obtained by Axios. "The plan shows how to stand up a government from nothing, an economy from shambles and a territory from disaster," a Board of Peace official said. Yes, but: For the plan to move forward, the Board of Peace needs Israel and Hamas to cooperate. While the Netanyahu government has agreed in principle to aspects of the plan that have been previously discussed, it refused to start implementing it, mainly for domestic political reasons ahead of the elections. And while Hamas agreed in principle to disarm, it hasn't been tested yet, partly because Israel won't implement a 14-day ceasefire before the demilitarization process starts. The Board of Peace hopes that after the Israeli elections on Oct. 27 and the formation of a new Israeli government, the Gaza recovery process can finally start.But the election is unlikely to yield a clear winner, resulting in a caretaker government and a political stalemate. That could further undermine implementation of the Gaza proposal. The big picture: The plan estimates physical damage in Gaza at $35.2 billion and says full recovery and reconstruction will require about $71.4 billion over the next decade.Zoom in: The plan divides the 66 projects into six areas: infrastructure development, human development, economic acceleration, digital transformation, legal affairs, and peace and security:Infrastructure accounts for the largest share, at roughly $1 billion, including about $400 million for temporary shelters, $275 million for rubble and unexploded ordnance clearance, $50 million for hospital rehabilitation and $30 million to repair Gaza's badly damaged road network.The plan also calls for repairing border crossings, restoring electricity and water infrastructure, deploying 25,000 portable solar-power kits and permanently filling tunnels beneath sites needed for priority reconstruction projects.Security-related projects account for roughly $885 million, making them another major component of the proposal.The plan allocates about $275 million for a permanent hardened site in Rafah capable of supporting 5,000 personnel from the International Stabilization Force (ISF) and another $140 million to recruit, train, equip and deploy a multinational security contingent.Another $120 million would go toward mobilizing Palestinian police.
