Egypt has finalized a Gaza reconstruction plan aimed at keeping Palestinians in their land and will present it at the emergency Arab summit on March 4. The announcement comes as Arab nations work to counter a controversial U.S. proposal by President Donald Trump, which seeks to take control of Gaza
Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty announced on Sunday (March 2) that Egypt’s Gaza reconstruction plan, designed to keep Palestinians in their homeland, is finalized and will be presented at the emergency Arab summit on March 4.
Arab nations, which swiftly rejected President Donald Trump's proposal for U.S. control over Gaza and Palestinian resettlement, are now working to coordinate a diplomatic response.
Trump’s plan, unveiled on February 4 amid a delicate ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, has sparked outrage among Palestinians and Arab leaders, challenging long-standing U.S. policy on a two-state solution.
According to Abdelatty, Egypt’s reconstruction initiative will not be solely Egyptian or Arab but will involve international support and funding to ensure its success.
Addressing the second phase of the ceasefire agreement, Abdelatty reaffirmed Egypt’s commitment to maintaining stability and facilitating negotiations for the next steps.
He underscored the importance of properly implementing the ceasefire deal signed in January, stressing that fulfilling its terms is crucial before advancing to the next phase.
"We have completed the first phase. Now, we must fulfill the remaining commitments and quickly move into negotiations for the second phase," Abdelatty stated during a press conference alongside European Union Commissioner for the Mediterranean, Dubravka Šuica.
Following the emergency Arab Summit, Abdelatty revealed that an urgent ministerial meeting for the Organization of Islamic Cooperation will be held in Saudi Arabia, where foreign ministers will work to promote the summit's decisions on a global stage.
