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.

    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!
