Overview
- The Arab League has endorsed a $53 billion reconstruction plan for Gaza, designed to rebuild the territory without displacing its Palestinian population.
- The plan, spearheaded by Egypt, envisions governance under the Palestinian Authority, though Israel has rejected any future role for the PA in Gaza.
- Donald Trump’s proposal to turn Gaza into a tourism hub under U.S. control, involving forced relocations to Egypt or Jordan, has faced widespread condemnation.
- A humanitarian convoy evacuated 29 critically ill Palestinian children from Gaza to Jordan for treatment, as Gaza’s healthcare system remains devastated by 15 months of conflict.
- Israel’s blockade has halted humanitarian aid to Gaza, raising concerns of renewed suffering and escalating tensions as the ceasefire falters.
