The article discusses the urgency among Arab leaders, primarily Egypt, to devise a reconstruction plan for Gaza in light of a faltering ceasefire and President Trump's controversial proposal to displace its residents. With tensions escalating, especially after Israel's Prime Minister halted aid to Gaza, Arab nations are working collectively to ensure Palestinians remain while developing their territories through a staged reconstruction effort. The proposed plan aims to present an alternative to Trump's vision, which has alarmed regional allies worried about a mass influx of Palestinians, posing potential threats to their stability.
The regional heavyweights, led by Egypt, are racing to finalize a proposal ahead of an emergency summit of Arab League states in Cairo on Tuesday.
The plan calls for an Arab-led reconstruction effort that would develop over stages, allowing Palestinians to stay in temporary housing while their neighborhoods are rebuilt.
Trump's announcement shocked the world and angered U.S. allies, including Egypt and Jordan, where officials say a mass influx of Palestinians would pose an existential threat.
In response, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Washington would 'provide an opportunity' for Arab countries to 'develop a plan.'
