Egypt is developing a plan to rebuild Gaza, and to confront Donald Trump’s call “Riviera”

Pyramids He said that the proposal was designed to “refute the logic of US President Trump” and confront “any other visions or plans aimed at changing the geographical and demographic structure of Gaza’s tape.”

Gaza is approaching a critical turn, with the first stage of the ceasefire due to an end in early March. Israel and the enthusiasm of the second stage, which aims to bring the launch of all the remaining hostages they keep by the militants, the entire Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and a long -term stop for the war.

It will be impossible to implement any reconstruction plan without agreement in the second stage, including an agreement on those who will rule Gaza in the long run. Israel is calling for the abolition of Hamas as a political or military power in the region, and international donors are unlikely to contribute to any rebuilding if Hamas is responsible.

It is essential to Egypt’s proposal to establish a Palestinian administration that is not in line with Hamas or the Palestinian Authority to operate the tape and supervise the reconstruction efforts, according to two Egyptian officials in efforts.

It also calls for the presence of a Palestinian police force mainly consisting of former police officers of the Palestinian Authority who remained in Gaza after Hamas assumed the pocket in 2007, with the reinforcement of the Egyptian and Western forces.

In response to a question about the possibility of deploying an Arab force in Gaza, one of the Egyptian officials and diplomat said that the Arab countries will only agree on whether there is a “clear path” to establish an independent Palestinian state. Netanyahu rejected any Palestinian state and any role in Hamas or the Western -backed Palestinian Authority in the Gaza administration, although it has not presented any clear alternative.

Hamas said it is ready to give up power in Gaza. Hamas spokesman Abdel -Latif Al -Qalbi told Associated Press on Sunday that the group accepted either a Palestinian unit government without the participation of Hamas or a committee of technocrats to manage the region. The Palestinian Authority, which governs the pockets of the West Bank occupied by the Israeli, has opposed any plans for Gaza to exclude it so far.

The Western diplomat said that France and Germany had supported the idea of ​​developing Arab countries opposing the Trump plan, and that Egyptian President Abdel Fata El -Sisi discussed his government’s efforts with French President Emmanuel Macron in a phone call earlier this month.

One of the Egyptian officials said that the Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdi informed the German Foreign Minister and other European Union officials on the sidelines of the security conference in Munich last week.

Officials from Egypt, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Jordan will discuss Egypt’s proposal in a gathering in Riyadh this week, before submitting it to the Arab summit later this month, according to Egyptian officials and Arab diplomat.
