$2.45 Billion Gaza Recovery Plan: What Does It Include?

A new Gaza recovery plan worth $2.45 billion lays out proposals for temporary housing, rubble removal, hospital repairs and economic recovery during the first six months of post-war reconstruction, alongside major security and governance arrangements.

According to a document obtained by Axios, President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace has prepared a 66-project roadmap for the initial recovery period. Separately, Gaza’s Palestinian administrative committee says its own recovery program includes 71 initiatives covering humanitarian assistance, infrastructure and security.

Gaza recovery plan allocates $2.45 billion over six months

The Board of Peace proposal estimates spending of approximately $2.45 billion during the first six months.

The plan is intended to move Gaza beyond emergency humanitarian relief and toward the early restoration of housing, health facilities, public services and economic activity.

Temporary housing and moving displaced Palestinians out of tents are among the most immediate priorities.

Board of Peace roadmap includes 66 projects

The document obtained by Axios contains 66 proposed projects covering humanitarian, economic, governance and security needs.

The roadmap seeks to establish basic government functions while restoring essential services and preparing for longer-term reconstruction.

Its implementation, however, remains dependent on unresolved political and security questions involving Israel, Hamas, disarmament and the future administration of Gaza.

Palestinian committee says its recovery plan has 71 programs

Separately, the head of the Palestinian committee tasked with administering Gaza said its recovery framework includes 71 programs covering humanitarian assistance, infrastructure and security.

The committee says it is working to restore public services, rebuild the territory and allow children to return to school.

Officials have also described the current service environment as fragmented, with multiple organizations operating without a single unified administrative structure.

Security projects account for about $885 million

Security represents one of the largest components of the Board of Peace proposal.

Axios reported that about $885 million would be allocated to security-related projects.

That includes roughly $275 million for a hardened permanent facility in Rafah capable of supporting as many as 5,000 members of an International Stabilization Force.

Another $140 million would support recruitment, training, equipment and deployment of a multinational security contingent, while about $120 million would be allocated to mobilizing Palestinian police.

The proposal also includes approximately $20 million for a weapons buy-back program intended to encourage the surrender and safe disposal of weapons and ammunition.

500 troops from Kosovo and Morocco prepared for deployment

The commander of the International Stabilization Force said an initial group of 500 troops from Kosovo and Morocco had been trained and equipped for possible deployment.

He said the force already has a headquarters operating around the clock with more than 50 international military commanders and planners.

The commander also said reconnaissance operations had been conducted in the Rafah area.

Palestinian administration could take over border crossings

The recovery framework also calls for a Palestinian technocratic administration eventually to manage Gaza’s crossings with Israel and Egypt for both goods and passengers.

Control of the crossings would be essential for humanitarian aid, construction materials and wider economic recovery.

Kushner links prosperity to disarmament

Jared Kushner has said Gaza’s economic recovery will require full disarmament.

He said plans were being developed to implement the process and expressed hope that it could begin soon.

Axios reported that Hamas has agreed in principle to disarm, although the commitment has not yet been tested in practice and disagreements remain over the sequence of ceasefire measures and demilitarization.

Israel and Hamas remain critical to implementation

Despite the detailed spending plan, implementation remains dependent on cooperation from Israel and Hamas.

Axios reported that the Israeli government has agreed in principle to some aspects previously discussed but has not begun full implementation.

The Board of Peace is hoping the political environment could become more favorable after Israel’s October election and the formation of a new government.

Gaza reconstruction remains largely stalled

Large-scale reconstruction has yet to begin across much of Gaza despite the passage of months since major fighting subsided.

A large share of the territory’s homes, schools, health facilities and other infrastructure has been destroyed or badly damaged, leaving many residents in tents, temporary shelters or unsafe buildings.

Is $2.45 billion enough to rebuild Gaza?

The proposal is not intended to represent the full cost of reconstructing Gaza.

Instead, the $2.45 billion figure covers an initial six-month recovery phase focused on restoring basic services, housing and administrative and security structures.

Full reconstruction would require significantly larger financing as well as long-term agreements over governance, security, access for building materials and movement through Gaza’s border crossings.
