Donors reluctant to fund US-led Gaza plan as Hamas disarmament push stalls: Report

Donors demand Hamas disarmament and prefer UN oversight before funding $100 billion Gaza reconstruction, delaying aid amid concerns of renewed conflict, diplomats and sources said.

  • On Feb 4, 2026, the United States has yet to secure donor commitments for its Gaza reconstruction plan as potential donors warn that disputes over Hamas disarmament could trigger renewed full-scale war, Reuters reported from Jerusalem.
  • As a core term, the plan makes Hamas disarmament a precondition for reconstruction and troop pullback, with a Board of Peace chaired by US President Donald Trump overseeing the process.
  • Demanding UN oversight and citing domestic fiscal limits, European governments and Gulf Arab states have hesitated to commit, while seven Western diplomats want funds managed by the United Nations rather than the Board of Peace.
  • The funding pause leaves Gaza residents unable to start clearing rubble or rebuilding essential services, with the Board of Peace in talks to award contracts for clearing an estimated 68 tonnes of rubble to a Palestinian technocratic body.
  • Abstaining from commitments, Kushner has scheduled a Washington event in the coming weeks to announce private contributions, though no date is set, raising questions about funding for 'New Gaza'.
