The inauguration of the 'Board of Peace' and the pledge of over $5 billion for the Gaza Strip could positively impact construction and infrastructure companies involved in reconstruction efforts. The focus on disarming Hamas and establishing an International Stabilization Force may also influence defense sector investments and regional stability, potentially affecting oil prices and other commodities.
US President Donald Trump inaugurated the 'Board of Peace', a new institution focused on progress in the Gaza Strip, with ambitions to address other global hotspots. The initiative follows a ceasefire negotiated by the Trump administration, Qatar, and Egypt, aiming to disarm Hamas and provide over $5 billion for Gaza's reconstruction. The meeting in Washington gathered around two dozen world leaders, predominantly Trump's allies, with notable absences from traditional European partners. Indonesia has committed to potentially sending 8,000 troops for an International Stabilization Force in Gaza. Donald Trump will retain veto power and leadership of the board even after leaving office, with countries seeking permanent membership required to pay $1 billion. The initiative has been met with mixed reactions, with some leaders like Brazil's Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva declining participation and criticizing its structure.
