The Arab League’s new Gaza peace and reconstruction plan, proposed by Egypt, has been swiftly rejected by the United States and Israel. This $53 billion plan aims to rebuild Gaza by 2030, providing temporary housing units for Palestinians to remain in the area. The plan also calls for the deployment of an international peacekeeping force to ensure security during reconstruction.
Hamas has welcomed the plan, despite the Palestinian Authority eventually taking over governance in Gaza. The Israeli government criticized the plan for not addressing the current situation in Gaza and failing to condemn a previous terror attack. The White House also expressed negative sentiments towards the plan, emphasizing President Trump’s vision to rebuild Gaza free from Hamas.
Overall, the Arab League’s plan faces opposition from key players in the region, highlighting the complex challenges in achieving peace and reconstruction in Gaza.
