Trump's Board of Peace to UN: Promised funding for Gaza rebuild not transferred

On May 20, 2026, governments criticized Israel's treatment of activists from a Gaza-bound aid flotilla. A video showed Israeli minister Itamar Ben Gvir taunting handcuffed activists. Italy's Meloni called the treatment 'unacceptable', the UK said it was 'truly appalled', Canada's Carney called it 'abominable', and the EU Commission called it unacceptable. South Korea's president accused Israel of kidnapping its citizens, while Greece and South Africa also condemned the detentions and Italy's foreign minister urged the release of the activists.

Separately, Trump's Board of Peace told the UN that promised funding for the Gaza rebuild had not been transferred. Egypt's foreign minister said the Gaza ceasefire plan must proceed with mutual compliance, and Egypt dispatched a convoy carrying 65 tons of aid to Gaza.
