Arab leaders at a summit in Cairo have approved a $53 billion plan for the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip, allowing the roughly 2 million Palestinians to remain in their homeland. In contrast to Trump’s plan to depopulate the territory, the Egyptian proposal aims to rebuild Gaza by 2030 without displacing its residents.
The plan includes the removal of unexploded ordnance and the clearing of rubble left by past conflicts, as well as the development of sustainable, green housing and urban areas with renewable energy sources. It also envisions the establishment of infrastructure such as airports, ports, and industrial zones.
While Hamas welcomed the plan, Israel rejected it, stating that it fails to address the reality of the situation and does not condemn Hamas’ actions that led to the war. The White House, on the other hand, welcomed input from Arab nations but maintained that Hamas could not continue to govern in Gaza.
The plan also calls for the deployment of an international peacekeeping force in Gaza and the West Bank, with an interim administration of political independents to govern Gaza until a reformed Palestinian Authority can assume control.
Overall, the Arab-approved reconstruction plan for Gaza is seen as a step towards creating a new security and political context in the region, focusing on peace and stability for the Palestinian people.
