Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Aaty emphasized the urgent need to begin implementing early recovery and reconstruction plans in the Gaza Strip as soon as possible, noting that these efforts are being carried out within a comprehensive vision that safeguards the rights of the Palestinian people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These statements coincide with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi\u2019s announcement that Egypt will host an international conference on Gaza reconstruction next November, and his directive to the government to establish a national mechanism for collecting contributions and donations for this purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Abdel Aaty explained that separate phone calls he held with the foreign ministers of Italy, Spain, Germany, and Canada addressed the ongoing preparations for the international conference. He stressed the immediate need to begin implementing recovery and reconstruction plans in line with both the Arab-Islamic reconstruction plan and U.S. President Donald Trump\u2019s Middle East peace initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Arab-Islamic agreement, adopted by the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation last March, aims to rebuild Gaza over five years at an estimated cost of $53 billion. The ceasefire agreement is based on the release of detainees, the disarmament of Hamas, and the entry of humanitarian aid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the statement issued by the Egyptian Foreign Ministry, the four foreign ministers expressed their appreciation for “Egypt\u2019s pivotal role in supporting regional stability,” confirming their commitment to continued coordination with Cairo on early recovery and reconstruction efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the ground, the Israeli army announced on Monday evening the return to implementing the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip, following hours of limited military escalation in the southern part of the enclave. The statement affirmed the Israeli army\u2019s commitment to the understandings, while press reports indicated that the strike was carried out under U.S. supervision to ensure a proportionate response without jeopardizing the agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This development comes amid cautious anticipation of the situation on the ground, as international mediators\u2014particularly the United States\u2014continue efforts to stabilize the agreement and prevent another collapse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
