Trump approves Egypt's Gaza reconstruction plan - under two conditions

Sky News Arabia reports that the Trump administration has linked Egypt's reconstruction plan to Hamas's removal from Gaza and the disarmament of the Strip. The plan spans approximately five years, and is estimated to cost over $50 billion.

Green Light from Trump: A Palestinian source told Sky News Arabia on Tuesday that the Trump administration has given initial approval to Egypt's plan for Gaza's reconstruction. However, the approval is contingent upon Hamas being removed from power in Gaza, and the strip being disarmed.

According to the source, the Trump administration has inquired with Egypt about its ability to facilitate Hamas's ouster from Gaza. The source added that Washington is pressuring Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to accept a proposal in which a Palestinian committee - backed by Arab nations and the international community - would govern Gaza.

Later this month, Egypt and the US are expected to hold discussions on developing operational mechanisms and timelines for the reconstruction initiative.

Egypt's plan, which is projected to span five years and exceed $50 billion in costs, outlines an initial phase focusing on clearing debris and constructing temporary housing for the Gazan population. Simultaneously, rubble removal will begin. In its more advanced phases, the plan includes the construction of an artificial island, public institutions, a seaport, an airport, and additional infrastructure projects.

Cairo has proposed the establishment of an international fund to finance the initiative. However, it remains uncertain whether the international community will be willing to contribute financially. A possible indication of hesitation was the absence of key Arab leaders, such as Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, at the recent Arab League summit.
