The leaders of the Arab countries who met today in Cairo adopted the Egyptian plan to rebuild Gaza, Egyptian President Abdel Fatah al -Sisi announced.

The plan, which is a response to US President Donald Trump’s proposal to create a “Middle East Riviera” in the Palestinian enclave, aims to rebuild the Gaza Strip without the displacement of its inhabitants.

Sisi said his proposal was accepted at the end of the summit. Earlier, he had stated that he was sure that Trump could bring peace.

The key questions that need to be answered about the future of Gaza are who will rule the enclave and which countries will grant the billions of dollars needed to rebuild it.

Sisi said that Egypt is working with the Palestinians to set up a committee consisting of independent, Palestinian technocrats, who will take over the Gaza administration. This committee will oversee the distribution of humanitarian aid and will manage the pockets temporarily until it is under the control of the Palestinian Authority, he added.

Another crucial issue is what Hamas will do, the organization that caused the Gaza War with the attack it launched in Israel on October 7, 2023.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas welcomed the Egyptian proposal and urged Trump to support the plan that does not include the displacement of Palestinian residents. Abbas also said he was ready to call presidential and parliamentary elections, if the circumstances allow it, stressing that the Palestinian Authority is the only legal government and military force in the Palestinian territories.

Abbas, one of the architects of Oslo’s (1993) peace agreements with Israel, who created hopes for the establishment of a Palestinian state, sees his legitimacy consistently undermined by the Israeli settlement on the West Bank. Many Palestinians also consider his government corrupt, undemocratic and out of reality.

However, for any reconstruction effort, it will be needed to support the rich Gulf countries, such as the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, which have the required billions of dollars.

The UAE, which sees Hamas and other Islamist organizations as an existential threat, want its immediate and complete disarmament, but other Arab countries prefer a more gradual approach, sources said with knowledge of the matter.

A source adjacent to the Saudi Arabian court said that the continued presence of Hamas’ armed in Gaza is an obstacle, due to the strong objections to the US and Israel, countries that should approve any plan.

In his speech at the Summit, Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan said that international guarantees were needed that the current truce would be maintained.

The UAE and Qatar leaders did not speak at the open meetings of the Synod.

A high -ranking Hamas executive, Sami Abu Zu, rejected the call for disarmament of the organization, insisting that her right to resistance is non -negotiable. Abu Zou until Reuters told Reuters that the organization would not accept any efforts to impose plans or any form of non -Palestinian government or the presence of foreign forces.

After Hamas expelled the Palestinian Authority from Gaza, after the brief civil war of 2007, he has stifled every opposition in the enclave.

One source told Reuters that Israel will not oppose Gaza’s responsibility for Gaza’s governing an Arab entity, as Hamas leaves the spotlight. But another Israeli official stressed that the aim of the war was from the outset to destroy the military and administrative potential of the Palestinian organization. “Therefore, if they are going to persuade Hamas to demobilize, this must be done immediately. Nothing else will be accepted, “he said.

Israeli officials say about 20,000 Hamas fighters have been killed by the start of the war. Sources close to Hamas, however, say that the organization has lost only a few thousand fighters in this war in which more than 48,000 people have been killed.
