Saudi Arabia became a <\/strong>key stakeholder in Gaza\u2019s reconstruction<\/strong>, pledging USD 1 bn toward Palestinian aid and peace efforts at US President Donald Trump\u2019s Board of Peace (BoP) in Washington. The Kingdom joins Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, the UAE, Morocco, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, and Uzbekistan in a combined USD 7 bn commitment, Anadolu<\/a> reports. The US alone pledged USD 10 bn, bringing total funding under a broader Gaza reconstruction plan to USD 17 bn.<\/p>\n

More contributions: <\/strong>Beyond the monetary support, Egypt and Jordan are stepping up to train a new stabilization force and Palestinian police. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs raised USD 2 bn, while Fifa committed USD 75 mn for social stability and youth projects.<\/p>\n

Why it matters:<\/strong> The BoP was designed to bypass UN gridlock, operating as a fast-track, minilateral platform that prioritizes speed in reconstruction and security over broad consensus. Saudi Arabia\u2019s USD 1 bn contribution is effectively a buy-in for permanent membership \u2014 securing Riyadh a seat at the decision-making table on regional security and capital deployment. While initially focused on Gaza, the BoP\u2019s charter casts it as a global conflict-resolution model, with President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio positioning it as a potential alternative to traditional UN peacekeeping.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, at Al Yamamah Palace<\/strong>, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman hosted US Senator Lindsey Graham to talk shop on Saudi-US ties, regional security, and the future of the Palestinian state, state news agency SPA<\/a> reports. Graham later took to X<\/a>, noting that the Crown Prince is focused on a \u201cdignified solution\u201d for Palestinians and expressing hope for closer US-Saudi military and economic ties, dialogue between Saudi Arabia and the UAE over Yemen and Sudan, and broader regional normalization if Iran\u2019s regime changes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
