Quick Summary

Announced at a meeting in New York on September 23, 2026, the board presented a comprehensive blueprint for rebuilding infrastructure, education, and health services, with an estimated total cost of $106.6 billion over 15 years.

Story summary

On September 23, 2026, the U.S.-backed Board of Peace unveiled a $2.45 billion six-month recovery plan for Gaza at the UN General Assembly in New York. The plan includes 66 projects, focusing on rebuilding infrastructure, restoring essential services, reviving the economy, and establishing post-war governance. Despite the ambitious goals, implementation hinges on cooperation from both Israel and Hamas. Security-related projects alone account for roughly $885 million, including a permanent site in Rafah capable of supporting 5,000 personnel from an International Stabilization Force and funds to recruit and deploy a multinational security contingent. The total cost of full reconstruction is estimated at $35.2 billion over the medium term and another $71.4 billion over the next decade.
