"Speaking in the Egyptian seaside resort of Sharm el-Sheikh on Monday, Trump envisioned a glimmering future for Gaza as a hub of development and investment, even as the Gaza Strip lies in ruins following Israel's devastating, two-year assault. A new and beautiful day is rising and now the rebuilding begins, said the US president, who praised regional leaders who helped broker a deal between Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas."
"The ceasefire deal has been greeted with a combination of relief and anxiety about the future in Gaza, where Israeli attacks killed at least 67,869 people, with thousands more likely buried beneath the rubble. There's no place here for people to stay, Al Jazeera correspondent Hani Mahmoud reported from Gaza. He added that people returning to what remains of their homes have struggled to access basic necessities, including water."
"Despite the toll of Israel's military campaign, which left most of the Strip unlivable and has been described as a genocide by a growing number of scholars and rights groups, the US president has framed discussions of Gaza's future around Israeli security demands. Gaza's reconstruction also requires that it be demilitarised, Trump said in his remarks. Leaders from the region such as Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi praised Trump at the summit,"
Political leaders convened in Egypt to sign a ceasefire deal for Gaza with the United States, Egypt, Qatar and Turkiye among mediators. Gaza lies devastated after a two-year Israeli assault that killed at least 67,869 people and left many buried under rubble. Returning residents face destroyed neighbourhoods, no shelter and shortages of water and basic necessities. Reconstruction will be enormous and politically fraught, conditioned by Israeli security demands and calls for Gaza demilitarisation. International responses combine relief over the ceasefire with deep anxiety about humanitarian needs, rebuilding logistics and long-term security arrangements.
