Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi said Tuesday that Arab leaders have endorsed Egypt's postwar plan for the Gaza Strip that would allow its roughly 2 million Palestinians to remain in the territory.

Summary

Arab leaders endorsed Egypt’s counterproposal to Trump’s Gaza plan, rejecting his call to depopulate and redevelop the territory.

Egypt’s $53 billion plan aims to rebuild Gaza by 2030 while preserving its Palestinian population. It includes temporary housing, infrastructure projects, and a phased political transition away from Hamas.

Trump’s resettlement idea was widely condemned, though Israel embraced it.

Egypt seeks to align reconstruction with a two-state solution. Meanwhile, Jordan has begun treating wounded Gazan children, and Israel’s offensive has devastated Gaza, killing over 48,000 people and displacing most of the population.

    The plan adresses many important points. However the article does not mention a crucial point. The Palestians need a security guaranty against further annihilation by Israel. The projects of air and sea ports in Gaza didnt wither away. Theu got bombed to shreds by Israel, who never wanted a functioning society in Gaza or the Westbank.

    Unless there is a credible security guaranty, all rebuilding efforts could be wiped out on another genocidal whim of Israel.

    A good starting point would be processing the top 1,000 Israeli war criminals at the ICC, as well as full surrender of all records, footage, social media posts, intelligence information and so on about all active duty IDF soldiers to the ICC. All IDF soldiers should receive electronic tracking devices so they can be brought to justice once the ICC decides to do so.

    Furthermore Israel needs to join the ICC and disclose and dismantle all its nuclear weapons and possible other biological and chemical weapon stockpiles.

    Of course Israel would never agree to any of this, unless forced to by its western allies.
