Egypt's Plan to Rebuild Gaza Receives International Support Amidst Controversy

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi announced a plan for the reconstruction of Gaza, incorporating remaining areas within their territories and forming an independent committee for administration. This plan, valued at $53 billion, has garnered European and American support. The Arab League acknowledged Egypt's plan to rebuild Gaza, which was discussed during the Arab Summit in Cairo. El-Sisi emphasized that the plan aims to "preserve the right of the Palestinian people to remain on their land," envisioning the formation of an independent committee to manage the region during a six-month transition. This phase includes removing rubble, clearing mines, and establishing temporary housing for over 1.5 million people. While the plan has received support from the UN and the EU, it has faced criticism, particularly from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who stated, "Now is the time to encourage the migration of Gaza's residents."
