Donald Trump’s Board of Peace has received only a tiny fraction of the $17 billion pledged for Gaza, preventing him from pushing ahead with his plan for the shattered Palestinian enclave’s future, sources told Reuters.

The Board of Peace denied in a statement on Friday posted on ​social media after the Reuters story was published that it had funding problems.

    The US government chipped in $10B, that should be enough to do something, except Trump already thinks of it as his own money.

    The rest were never going to pay.

    Trump’s future public statement on the matter:

    I have no idea where the $17 billion went. Who can keep track of $14 billion anyway, during this war (that is actually an excursion) (but is over) (but also will be soon). Such a nasty question, ask sleepy Joe Biden where the $8 billion went. If our SO-CALLED allies ponied up the $7 million Gaza would be rebuilt already. They came up to me, but strong men and with tears in their eyes, saying “Please, Trump, can we have the $2 million to feed my kids?” I shook my head, and said, “It’s coming in two weeks after the Board pays me back the $10 billion it owes me.” He said “thank you, thank you sir” and so the Board members better PAY UP or we’ll have to send a message (with BOMBS) and it’s “light’s out” for Gaza!
