Donald Trump promised that his pet project, the “Board of Peace,” would use money from member states to rebuild Gaza after a months-long bombing campaign that destroyed infrastructure and took the lives of tens of thousands. Initially, member states had promised $7 billion, with an additional $10 billion expected to come from US funding — but a little over six months after the BoP was mandated, the reality has shown that nothing is clear about its plans so far.
The charter was officially signed on Jan. 22, 2026. Only a month later, Trump waged war on Iran alongside Israel. The disastrous short-term consequences of that war have made Trump increasingly suspicious to his own base, which is now going through every promise he ever made with a fine-tooth comb. Especially the promises that came with financial guarantees and grand declarations about making the world a better place.
