What role for Arab powers in shaping postwar Gaza?  DW  10/17/2025
"Egypt's role as a key mediator in talks to secure a ceasefire and end Israel's genocide in Gaza has allowed Cairo to reassert its strategic value to its international partners,"
"Egypt will want to maintain this momentum of demonstrating its diplomatic weight in the region,"
"For Cairo, it is also a diplomatic victory that earlier discussions of forcibly displacing the population from Gaza to Egypt and Jordan have been dropped in the plan put forward by US President Donald Trump,"
Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey backed a US peace plan that led Hamas and Israel to agree a ceasefire on October 10, pausing roughly two years of conflict. Egypt positioned itself as principal mediator and hosted ceasefire summits, restoring strategic importance with international partners. The diplomatic role attracted substantial financing, including a $35 billion UAE Ras al-Hikma construction commitment and a €7.4 billion package from the European Commission. Plans to forcibly displace Gaza’s population to Egypt and Jordan were removed from the US proposal. Egypt seeks a major role in Gaza’s reconstruction, leveraging domestic construction capacity developed through large-scale megaprojects.
