The Gaza Reconstruction Plan adopts the Egyptian version, requiring $53 billion and will take five years.
Arab leaders have decided to adopt the Gaza reconstruction plan developed by Egypt. The plan costs $53 billion and does not require forcibly resettling Palestinians to other countries, excluding U.S. President Trump's recent idea of turning Gaza into a resort destination.
The Gaza reconstruction plan follows Egypt's five-year, $53 billion proposal, which guarantees that the 2.4 million Gaza residents can stay on their own land and excludes Hamas from participating in post-war governance.
Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit stated, "This declaration also calls for the Security Council to deploy peacekeeping forces to ensure the security of both the West Bank and Gaza, which is an important move for peace and protection." UN Secretary-General António Guterres emphasized, "The UN is ready to fully cooperate on Egypt's Gaza reconstruction plan."
The Palestinian Islamist organization Hamas issued a statement expressing support for Egypt's plan. Israel, on the other hand, criticized the reconstruction plan as outdated and unrealistic, arguing that it completely ignores Hamas's brutal terrorist attacks, which have resulted in the deaths of thousands of Israelis and the abduction of hundreds.
