The question of Gaza’s reconstruction has become a focal point in Middle Eastern diplomacy, with competing visions emerging for the war-torn enclave’s future.
As U.S. President Donald Trump suggests drastic measures, including the relocation of Palestinians, regional leaders are formulating alternative strategies to address the crisis while preserving Palestinian rights.
Egypt’s Alternative Plan for Gaza
Egypt has announced plans to present a comprehensive vision for rebuilding Gaza, ensuring that Palestinians remain on their land.
The Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the country hopes to cooperate with the Trump administration to achieve a fair resolution to the Palestinian issue.
However, Cairo remains firmly opposed to any forced displacement of Gaza’s population.
As reported by Digi24, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi reiterated his stance in a recent phone call with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen.
He emphasized the need to begin reconstruction efforts without displacing Palestinians and reaffirmed that the establishment of a Palestinian state remains the only viable path to lasting peace.
Arab Leaders Unite Against U.S. Proposal
Trump’s vision for Gaza includes U.S. control over its reconstruction, alongside the expulsion of Palestinians to Egypt or Jordan.
The American president has framed his plan as a strategy to transform Gaza into a prosperous economic hub, but it has been met with widespread condemnation.
Jordan’s King Abdullah II, following a meeting with Trump in Washington, confirmed that Egypt will present its reconstruction plan for consideration in upcoming Arab negotiations.
Meanwhile, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty has intensified diplomatic efforts, engaging with U.S. officials and Arab leaders to reinforce opposition to any plan that undermines Palestinian sovereignty.
As tensions mount, Egypt’s proposal could become a critical counterweight to U.S. ambitions in the region, shaping the next phase of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
