Egypt says Gaza reconstruction plan ready
Egypt says its Gaza reconstruction plan, that ensures Palestinians remain in their land, is ready and will be presented at an emergency Arab summit in coming days.
IRNA- Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty says that Egypt’s Gaza reconstruction plan, which ensures Palestinians remain on their land, is ready and will be presented at an emergency Arab summit on March 4.
Arab states, which were swift to reject President Donald Trump’s plan for the U.S. to take control of Gaza and resettle Palestinians elsewhere, are scrambling to agree on a diplomatic initiative to counter the proposal.
Trump’s plan, announced on February 4 during a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, has infuriated Palestinians and Arab countries and upended decades of U.S. diplomacy focused on a two-state solution.
The Egyptian reconstruction plan, according to Abdelatty, will gain international support and funding to ensure its successful implementation.
“We will hold intensive talks with major donor countries once the plan is adopted at the upcoming Arab Summit,” Abdelatty said in a press conference with the European Union commissioner for the Mediterranean, Dubravka Šuica.
Abdelatty emphasized that Europe’s role, especially in the economic aspect of rebuilding the war-torn enclave, is critical.
