Gaza Ceasefire Faces Collapse as Israel Blocks Aid and Arab Leaders Propose Reconstruction Plan
Israel's blockade and stalled negotiations jeopardize a fragile truce, while Arab nations back a $53 billion plan for Gaza's reconstruction without displacement.
- Phase one of the Gaza ceasefire agreement, involving hostage exchanges, concluded on March 1, but phase two discussions have stalled as Israel resists key terms.
- Israel implemented a full blockade on Gaza, halting humanitarian aid to pressure Hamas into extending hostage releases without advancing to phase two of the truce.
- Arab leaders endorsed Egypt's $53 billion Gaza reconstruction plan, which aims to rebuild the territory by 2030 without displacing its population, countering U.S. President Trump's controversial relocation proposal.
- The Egyptian plan envisions an interim administration of independent Palestinians in Gaza, eventual Palestinian Authority control, and international peacekeeping forces in Gaza and the West Bank.
- Hamas remains resistant to relinquishing arms and control, while Israel rejects any role for Hamas in Gaza's future governance, raising fears of renewed conflict.
