Arab leaders approved on Tuesday an Egyptian reconstruction plan for Gaza, which is estimated to cost 53 billion U.S. dollars and aims to avoid displacing Palestinians from the enclave. The plan, foreseeing rebuilding of Gaza by 2030, was accepted at the closing of an emergency Arab summit held in Cairo, receiving full backing from all participating Arab leaders. The summit also agreed to form a non-factional technocratic committee to administer Gaza for at least six months under the umbrella of the Palestinian Authority. Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty told a press conference after the summit that Egypt will start the international promotion of its reconstruction plan. He noted that the plan includes the establishment of a seaport and an airport in the Gaza Strip and the recycling of the rubble left by the destruction in Gaza. The Egyptian plan counters a previous plan by U.S. President Donald Trump, which suggests redeveloping Gaza and relocating Gazans to neighboring countries, including Egypt and Jordan. "The only contradiction between Egypt's plan and Trump's is that the former totally rejects making Palestinians migrate from Gaza, while President Donald Trump's plan basically aims at not letting Hamas control Gaza. The plan Egypt announced today aims at making the Palestinian Authority take control of the enclave. The U.S. president said that he wants to establish peace in the Middle East. Egypt's plan also seeks to achieve that, by establishing a Palestinian state and promoting the two-state solution, [two states] that peacefully coexist," said an analyst. Oren Marmorstein, a spokesperson for Israel's foreign ministry, rejected the plan on X, reiterating Israel's support for Trump's plan. Meanwhile, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres stressed the UN's readiness to back the Egypt-drafted plan, stressing that Gaza should remain as part of the State of Palestine. Hamas welcomed the summit's outcomes and voiced support for Egypt's reconstruction plan, calling for all necessary resources to ensure its success. SHOTLIST: FILE: Cairo, Egypt - July 24, 2022 1.
