US Announces Plan for Gaza Peace and Building

The United States has started a new plan for peace and rebuilding in Gaza. President Donald Trump announced a special group called the "Board of Peace." This group will help govern and rebuild Gaza. Important people are on the board. These include former UK Prime Minister Sir Tony Blair and World Bank Chief Ajay Banga. This plan comes after fighting in Gaza. Sadly, some Palestinians have died.

The "Board of Peace" is a big part of President Trump's plan for the area. The President will lead the board. It will not just rebuild Gaza. It will also help govern Gaza and make it stable for the future. People on the board will have different jobs. They will work on security, help people, and bring new business. An International Stabilization Force will help with security. US Major-General Jasper Jeffers will lead it.

However, many people are not sure about this plan. Some international groups may criticize it. This is because the situation is difficult. Palestinians have many problems. The US government says the board is "the greatest and most prestigious." But people in Gaza see a different situation. There are still attacks in Gaza. Sadly, some Palestinians have died recently. Three people, including two children, died in recent attacks. Over 463 Palestinians have died since October 10th.

At the same time, a Palestinian group met in Egypt. They talked about a peace plan. This plan may be different from the US plan. People in Gaza need basic things like "food, shelter, safety." The "Board of Peace" must help with these problems. The success of the board will depend on its ability to help people. It must also gain the trust of people who have suffered from war. We will see in the coming weeks if the board can help Gaza.
