The Gaza reconstruction plan, initially proposed under Donald Trump’s Board of Peace (BoP), has been significantly scaled back.Originally intended to rebuild the entire territory, the project now focuses on a small pilot project in southern Gaza.

The British publication The Guardian reported that the plan aims to establish a temporary camp for a fraction of Gaza’s population, with a Palestinian administration, police, and a small International Security Force (ISF) contingent.

The initiative, which is not expected to materialize before the end of 2026, involves setting up a logistics base near Kerem Shalom and preparing a camp near Rafah.However, progress is stalled due to political uncertainties, including potential Israeli elections in October.

The report highlights concerns that Netanyahu might launch another offensive ahead of the vote, while the BoP faces criticism for its limited progress.Funding for the plan remains insufficient, with only a fraction of the $17bn pledged for Trump’s 20-point peace plan realized.

The BoP, established in January 2026, includes members from various regions, but its mandate now extends beyond Gaza to peace-building in conflict-affected areas.The article underscores the political and logistical challenges hindering the reconstruction efforts.
