This announcement came during several sessions held by the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs with foreign ambassadors, representatives of international organisations, foreign correspondents, and international media.
The sessions are part of Cairo’s efforts to promote the Arab plan, which was adopted by the Cairo Extraordinary Arab Summit on Tuesday. The summit comprehensively presented the three-phase plan and its various stages.
According to the Egyptian foreign ministry, the sessions highlighted the summit’s reaffirmation of the importance of Gaza’s reconstruction while ensuring that Palestinians remain on their land and rejecting any displacement attempts.
The Arab plan for Gaza reconstruction, which called for the formation of a non-partisan Palestinian technocratic committee to govern Gaza, outlined the vast destruction in Gaza and the urgent need to provide humanitarian relief to its people.
It includes removing 50 million tonnes of rubble, disposing of unexploded ordnance, provisioning temporary housing units, constructing around 460,000 permanent housing units, and restoring essential services and facilities.
The sessions also addressed security measures in Gaza, including intensifying training programmes for Palestinian police forces and enhancing their capabilities and enabling the Palestinian Authority to regain supervision over the strip.
The plan serves as a unified Arab response to US President Donald Trump’s colonial proposal for a US-led takeover, aiming to transform the Gaza Strip into a "Middle East Riviera" while displacing its Palestinian population out of their homeland.
