"The conference was announced by Downing Street ahead of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer's arrival in Egypt on Monday for a peace plan signing co-chaired by US President Donald Trump and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi. While Starmer has not attended the conference, convened at the UK Foreign Office's Wilton Park conference center, it has been led by the UK's Middle East Minister Hamish Falconer,"
"Downing Street said the event would be attended by representatives from Germany, Italy, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and the Palestinian Authority. World Bank and European Bank for Reconstruction and Development officials are also taking part. Both the US and Israel are notable omissions. "The advantage to the planned configuration is that the representatives are more likely to reach a consensus," said Richard Caplan, a Professor of International Relations at Oxford University, UK. So far, the Trump Administration has been the major driver of the ceasefire and has the greatest influence over Israel's premier, Benjamin Netanyahu."
The United Kingdom is hosting a three-day Gaza reconstruction conference to coordinate planning and reconstruction efforts for postwar Gaza. The conference convenes representatives from governments, businesses and civil society and has been led by the UK's Middle East Minister Hamish Falconer. Attendees include Germany, Italy, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the Palestinian Authority, and officials from the World Bank and EBRD. The United States and Israel are not participating. The US administration has driven the ceasefire and shaped evolving reconstruction proposals, with a 20-point plan including provisions that Gazans can remain and be granted freer movement.
