Arab States Discuss Egyptian Plan to Reshape Gaza Governance
The proposal seeks to diminish Hamas' control, establish international oversight, and address the region's reconstruction challenges.
- Arab leaders convene in Cairo to counter US President Trump's controversial proposal to relocate Gaza's residents and transform the area into a tourism hub.
- Egypt's plan aims to remove Hamas from power, replacing it with a governance structure overseen by a coalition of Arab, Muslim, and Western nations.
- The reconstruction of Gaza is estimated to cost $53 billion, but the funding sources remain unclear, with no aid expected if Hamas retains control.
- Israel threatens to resume military actions if Hamas does not release remaining hostages, putting the fragile ceasefire at risk.
- The Arab League's discussions also address long-term security, humanitarian support, and the establishment of temporary housing for displaced Gazans within the territory.
