U.S. President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace is set to unveil a six-month, $2.45 billion Gaza recovery plan on Wednesday, outlining dozens of projects aimed at rebuilding critical infrastructure and restoring basic services across the war-damaged Palestinian enclave.

The proposal contains 66 projects covering temporary housing, rubble clearance, hospital rehabilitation, economic recovery and security, according to Axios, which obtained a copy of the plan.

The recovery blueprint estimates physical damage across Gaza at about $35.2 billion. Longer term, the plan projects that full reconstruction and economic recovery could require approximately $71.4 billion over the next decade.

Infrastructure represents one of the largest areas of proposed spending. The plan includes repairing Gaza’s border crossings, restoring damaged electricity and water systems and distributing 25,000 portable solar power kits. It also proposes permanently filling tunnels located beneath sites designated for priority reconstruction projects.

Temporary housing is another major focus as authorities seek to move displaced Palestinians out of tents. Around $400 million would be allocated for insulated caravans, while funding would also support health, education and welfare programs. Security-related initiatives include the proposed deployment of a multinational stabilization force and support for a new Palestinian police force.

The Trump administration previously informed Congress that it planned to provide more than $206 million toward a proposed Gaza security force as part of broader efforts to implement its peace framework.

However, major political obstacles remain. Implementation of the Gaza reconstruction plan depends on cooperation from Israel and Hamas, with disputes over ceasefire arrangements, demilitarization and other commitments delaying progress.

Funding also remains uncertain. The Board of Peace and the Palestinian technocratic government have not secured the entire $2.45 billion required for the initial six-month program. Officials nevertheless expect donor countries to contribute once political barriers are resolved, according to Axios.

The proposal represents an effort to move beyond emergency humanitarian assistance by rebuilding Gaza’s infrastructure, restoring its economy and establishing functioning Palestinian-led administrative and security institutions.
