Arab Plan for Gaza Gains International Backing Despite US-Israeli Tensions

The Arab League and OIC endorse Egypt's $53 billion reconstruction proposal, but Hamas and Israel remain locked in conflict over geisels and governance.

Germany, France, Italy, and the UK have expressed support for Egypt's $53 billion Arab League-backed plan to rebuild Gaza under Palestinian Authority leadership.
The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has also approved the plan, framing it as a potential international initiative involving nations like Japan, Russia, and China.
The proposal excludes Hamas from future governance in Gaza, a point of contention as the group continues to hold geisels and rejects Israeli conditions for a ceasefire extension.
US President Donald Trump's direct negotiations with Hamas, a break from previous US policy, have raised concerns in Israel over potential concessions to the group.
The humanitarian crisis in Gaza worsens, with rising food prices and deteriorating conditions, as Israel halts aid deliveries following the collapse of a temporary ceasefire.
