UN says more than 90% of houses in gas are destroyed or damaged

The reconstruction plan for the competition of the idea of ​​President Donald Trump for the US “to occupy gas” and is expected to be approved by more than two million Palestinians at an emergency summit in the Egyptian capital Cairo.

Egypt has prepared another plan with a glossy brochure, 91 pages and complete with some brilliant Emirate designs to resist the US Character and beyond.

Will the “Dubai on the Mediterranean” will rise from Gaza’s rubble instead of “Riviera in the Middle East”?

What distinguishes Cairo’s plan is that this basis is not only in the development of property; His banners are the Palestinians’ policy and rights.

The leak of the project of the statement received by the BBC emphasizes that it belongs to the Arab states and the Palestinians.

It will “presented Egypt, in full coordination with Palestinian and Arab countries based on research conducted by the World Bank and the United Nations Development Program for Early Recovery and Reconstruction in Gaza as a comprehensive Arab plan.”

The most critical it allows more than two million gas residents to hold on to their lives, including their right to remain on the ground, which generations of their families were called home.

President Trump continues to think aloud: “Why don’t they want to move?” Its description of the gas as a “website of the demolition” emphasizes how after almost 16 months a heavy war is a complete destruction.

The UN says 90% of the houses are damaged or destroyed. All the basics of life that are worth living, from schools and hospitals to sewage systems and electricity, is ground.

The document project does not definitely refer to the President Trump’s plan “take” the territory and transfer Palestinians, mainly to neighboring countries. But it clarifies that it moves that only causes more disasters.

“Any malicious attempts to displace Palestinians or affiliation with any part of the occupied Palestinian territories will lead to new stages of conflicts, undermine stability opportunities, expand the conflict in other countries of the region and pose a clear threat to peace in the Middle East,” – warns it.

Ever since the US president suddenly talked about his plan, there has been a huge pressure on the Arab states not only to come up with an alternative plan, but also to prove that he could work.

Properties developers know presentation issues.

President Trump deepened shock and anger around his ideas when he posted a video from Golden Gaza On his truth social account last week.

It had a shimmering statue of itself, its close ally Elon Musk, who enjoyed the snack on the beach, and he and the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who self -shirt. Everything to a memorable tune with lines such as “Trump Gaza is finally here”.

“They meant President Trump,” said one Western diplomat who attended a briefing on Egypt’s plan in Cairo. “It’s very glossy and very well prepared.”

It is said that the Cairo reconstruction plans that the BBC received, with their tempting images of leaf quarters and grand buildings that were carried out, carried out a wide range of knowledge: from the World Bank professionals to stability, to the developers of Dubai at the hotels.

There are also lessons obtained in other destroyed cities that grew from ruins, including Hiroshima, Beirut and Berlin.

And the proposed projects also affect Egypt’s own experience in the development of “New Cairo” – its grand megaproek, which in the large edition revealed a new administrative capital that increases from the desert.

Whoever pay for the assembly of gas is the main problem. Egypt suggests that the international conference be convened as soon as possible for “restoration and reconstruction”.

Wealthy Persian Gulf States seem ready to enter some enormous bills that will be about $ 50 billion (39 billion pounds).

But no one is ready to invest unless they are absolutely sure that the buildings will not collapse in another war.

The gentle ceasefire, which seems to be on the border of collapse, only enhance this fluctuations.

“We will negotiate intensive negotiations with major donor countries as soon as the plan is adopted,” Egypt’s Foreign Minister Badry Abdelatti said on Sunday, emphasizing the hope that capital will help you come up with cash.

Another sensitive aspect is who will manage gas as soon as this current confrontation is over.

The leakage of the project of the statement, backed by sources, which also saw the document, say that there is a proposal for a transitional agreement, a committee of technocrat, called “Gaza Management Committee under the Palestinian Government”.

Benjamin Netanyahu, who describes the Gaza Trump’s plan as a “visionary”, has repeatedly excluded any future role for Hamas, but also for the Palestinian administration.

The draft document “calls on the United Nations Security Council to place international peacekeeping forces that contribute to the security of both Palestinians and for Israelis on the Western Bank and Gaza Strip.”

Getting a permit of Arab leaders for this new plan can be a simple part.

Hamas, which is said to have accepted it, will not play roles in gas management, still has a military and political fall on the ground.

Some Arab states are known to call for complete dismantling; Others believe that these decisions should be left by the Palestinian. Hamas himself says that disarmament is a red line.

As for President Trump, he said he did not “force” his ideas to anyone, but still insists that his plan “that really works.”
