Arab League adopts $53B plan for Gaza
The Arab League summit in Cairo on Tuesday approved a $53 billion reconstruction plan led by Egypt.
The initiative aims to rebuild the Gaza Strip without displacing its residents.
US proposal for Gaza rejected
The Arab plan follows a controversial proposal from US President Donald Trump, who suggested a redevelopment strategy that would “take over” Gaza and transform it into what he described as “the Riviera of the Middle East.”
His proposal was widely rejected by Arab nations and other countries, with critics arguing it amounted to forced displacement.
