CAIRO, Egypt
Arab leaders have approved a reconstruction plan for Gaza, spearheaded by Egypt in collaboration with Palestine. The initiative, now an official Arab League proposal, rejects any forced displacement of Palestinians and outlines a structured path for rebuilding the war-torn enclave.
Arab League Secretary-General
Ahmed Aboul Gheit emphasized the significance of the plan, stating: “Presenting
a clear, practical and realistic alternative for the proposal of displacing
Palestinians, which is a plan prepared by Egypt in cooperation with Palestine
and it became, after its approval by the summit minutes ago, an Arab plan that
is completely approved by all Arab countries, societies and nation.”
The plan includes clearing
debris, restoring essential services, and securing international funding
through a trust overseen by the World Bank.
It also proposes long-term
urban development, including green housing, industrial zones, and key
transportation projects such as a commercial port and airport.
Beyond reconstruction, the
initiative aims to establish a new political and security framework for Gaza.
Aboul Gheit highlighted this, saying: “The plan is not only a technical
plan but also draws a new political and security path in Gaza.”
He also stressed that the
framework preserves Gaza’s legal status as part of a future Palestinian state
alongside the West Bank.
Egypt will host an
international conference in cooperation with the United Nations to coordinate
global support.
The Arab League has also
called on the UN Security Council to deploy an international peacekeeping force
in Gaza and the West Bank to stabilize the region.
