Arab League Support for Egyptian Plan for Reconstruction of Gaza – Mehr News Agency | Iranian and world news

The Arab summit, held in Cairo on Tuesday, supported the Egyptian proposal to rebuild Gaza, according to the Mehr News Agency. The plan is designed to counter US proposals to change the texture of the region and prevent the Palestinian forced displacement.

Accordingly, Abdul Fattah Al -SisiThe Egyptian president said in a closing statement that the plan was presented as a replacement for US plans such as Trump’s recent plan for Gaza ethnic cleansing.

Details of Gaza Reconstruction Plan

According to reports, the Gaza Reconstruction Plan has three stages, which will take between four and five years.

The first stage (six months): A committee of Palestinian technocrats managed by the Palestinian Authority will clear the debris from Salah al-Din Street and the North-South-South Highway of Gaza.

Stage Two: Construction of 6,000 temporary housing units for accommodation of 1 million and 6,000 people and reconstruction of 6,000 damaged buildings.

Stage Three: Reconstruction of 6,000 permanent homes, rebuilding Gaza Port and its International Airport, and improving vital infrastructure including water, sewage, communications and electricity.

The executive mechanism and finance of the project

Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa, in response to a question about how the project is funded, emphasized that reconstruction management would be entrusted to an independent international supervision entity. All financial resources will also be deposited into an international fund, possibly under the management of the World Bank, to ensure transparency and funding.

He added that Egypt and Jordan will play a role in reforming the Gaza police forces. There is a keen interest in participating in this project, although funding will be a major challenge.

Full support of the Arab states for Egypt’s plan

Ahmad AbolgitThe Arab League secretary general emphasized that the Cairo summit had two main goals:

First, the collective opposition of the Arab states with any attempt to move the Palestinian Gaza, and the other, provide practical and realistic solutions instead of Gaza’s evacuation offers.

He said the Egyptian plan is now recognized as an official Arab plan and has the full support of all Arab countries.

In addition, international conferences are expected to be held to attract the necessary financial assistance to rebuild and develop Gaza.
