The Trump administration has rejected a long-awaited plan for the reconstruction of Gaza endorsed by Arab leaders, saying the president stands by his own vision which includes expelling the territory’s Palestinian residents and transforming it into a “riviera” owned by the United States.

The Trump administration has rejected a long-awaited plan for the reconstruction of Gaza endorsed by Arab leaders, saying the president stands by his own vision which includes expelling the territory’s Palestinian residents and transforming it into a “riviera” owned by the United States.

Egypt unveiled a $53 billion Gaza reconstruction plan with broad backing that would not displace Palestinians. The White House says it ignores reality.

Palestinians reacted to the Arab move to endorse Egypt’s postwar plan for the Gaza Strip that would allow its roughly 2 million Palestinians to remain.

The United States dismissed a $53 billion, five-year reconstruction plan for Gaza backed by Arab states, saying President Donald Trump believed his proposal to transform the Palestinian enclave into a U.

Even the secretary general of the Arab League called it unrealistic and illegal. To quote him. And but President Sisi was a bit more conciliatory. And he said this reconstruction plan that they endorsed would be a prelude to comprehensive peace in the region.

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said the proposal, welcomed in subsequent statements by Hamas and criticised by Israel, had been accepted at the closing of a summit in Cairo.
