U.S. President Donald Trump announced yesterday that his Board of Peace will be convening on Feb. 19 in Washington. Trump wrote on Truth Social that “Member States have pledged more than $5 BILLION DOLLARS toward the Gaza Humanitarian and Reconstruction efforts, and have committed thousands of personnel to the International Stabilization Force and Local Police to maintain Security and Peace for Gazans.” He also demanded that “Hamas must uphold its commitment to Full and Immediate Demilitarization.”
Trump’s announcement came as the IDF was killing more Palestinians in Gaza yesterday. Gaza medics said an Israeli airstrike on a tent encampment housing displaced families killed at least four people, while health officials said another strike killed five in Khan Younis in the south and another person was shot dead in the north, reported Reuters. An Israeli military official called Sunday’s strikes “precise” and in line with international law, and said the Palestinian militant group had repeatedly violated an October ceasefire.
