Arab countries opposed the proposal of President Trump to expel Palestine from Gaza and convert him to a beach destination with his own vision on Tuesday, supporting the plan to keep the population there, renew the territory and turn it into part of the future Palestinian state, without Hamas in the Government.
The contours of counterprotage came out of a meeting in Cairo, where the Arab countries approved the Egyptian plan to spend $ 53 billion to renovate Gaza, but not, as suggested by Mr. Trump, moving Palestine from the enclave.
The leaders across the Middle East have become under great pressure to come up with a feasible draft for renovation, insurance and gauze management at a time when Israel-Hamas stops fire is the fire tension And Israel, who is exalted by Mr. Trump, is increasingly seemed to be an advantage in negotiations.
The Arabic plan “sets the way for a new security and political context in Gaza,” said Ahmed Aboul Gheit, Secretary General of the Arab League, at a press conference. He emphasized the importance of completing an agreement on the termination of fire in Gaza.
However, the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs quickly rejected the Arab proposal on social media, calling its ideas “outdated” and saying that he did not recognize the threat Hamas represented to Israel and the region. Hamas, for his part, said that the reconstruction plan of Arab leaders and support for holding Palestinians in Gaza “welcome”.
There was no current response of Trump’s administration.
Even while Arab leaders presented a unique front against Mr. Trump’s idea, at least one made sure to praise the US president for supporting the dedication fire-the Arab leaders’ intervention would happily take more.
The Fire Interruption Agreement “would not be possible without the contribution of President Trump and his administration, which we hope to continue,” said President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi of Egypt in speech on the summit. He and other speakers rejected forcibly displaced Palestine, but did not directly criticize Mr. Trump.
The Egyptian frame predicts the setting of the Technocrat and other figures that are not associated with the Hamas in charge of the gauze for the initial period.
Hamas officials said they would be willing to surrender to the control of the civilian affairs of the Board of Directors whose part of the groups was part, until the Palestinian “national consensus”, after Tuesday, determined the Palestinian “National Consensus”.
The Egyptian plan also calls for the United Nations Security Council to distribute the international peacekeeping forces to insurance Gaza and the western coast occupied by Israeli but not specify which countries could supply the troops.
The plan is one of the worst questions of all: whether and how to disarm Hamas, who after 15 months of war The most powerful force remains In Gaza.
Although numerous Arab countries would like to dissolve an armed wing, the declaration on Tuesday does not call Hamas to lay their hands. The tongue remained a little blurred, suggesting that security and weapons manage “legitimate Palestinian institutions” based on the principle one armed force and one legitimate authority.
Hamas rejected demilitarization, and the Hamas official media reported on Tuesday that “the weapon of resistance is a red line.” But Israel and Trump’s administration requested that – a seemingly irreconcilable difference.
Any agreement should also bypass the more basic issue. While Arab leaders will only support a frame that would include at least the nominal path to Palestinian statehood, Israeli leaders are opposed to moving any time that would lead to the sovereignty of Palestine.
Arab countries have picked up in recent weeks to devise alternativeE to February Mr. Trump proposal To force Palestine from Gaza to Egypt and Jordan. Much of the world rejected his plan, with someone saying that it would be equal to ethnic cleansing.
Egypt, Jordan and other Arabic allies of the United States have pushed hard on that, saying that it would destroy Any remaining hope of the Palestinian state and destabilizes the region.
Mr. Trump seems to have recently mitigated his position, saying that he “does not force” his idea of a gauze to anyone. But also he shared a video generated by AI Showing “Trump’s Gaza”, with a hard government of Israel that accepted his proposal, the Arab world remains deeply concerned.
Adds to those worries uncertainty Around Gaza stopped, which stopped bloodshed for six weeks and saw Israel and Hamas exchanging Palestinian prisoners for Israeli hostages.
In the last crisis for an earthquake of an agreement, Israel started blocking All assistance and commodity since entering Gaza on Sunday, trying to Hamas with strong hands to extend the first phase of the tribute and change of multiple prisoners for hostages without heading for the constant end of the war.
Israel also recently drive Tens of thousands of Palestinians from their homes on the west coast on Israeli and were excluded by allowing them to return, enhancing Arab fears that he strengthened Israel to Israel They will try to annex the territory.
Israel says it responds to a growing threat from militants from the west coast. The Israeli army denies any forced evacuation, but announced that he ordered people to leave the buildings close to what they called a militant hiding place.
The Cairo Summit included representatives of all 22 Arab League members, as well as Secretary General UN President of the European Council. But the leaders of the two most powerful bay nations – Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates – skipped it and sent him representatives, asking questions about whether there was a united Arab support for Egypt.
The only bay heads of the state that attended were from Bahrain and Qatar.
According to the proposal approved on Tuesday, the transitional board of directors would open the way to the Palestinian administration, an internationally recognized body that manages parts of the West Coast to “return” to Gaza. The government managed Gaza until Hamas, who won the parliamentary elections in 2006, forced the control of the comic book in 2007.
Arab officials claim that Gaza and the western coast should be united as one state and must be related to any talks about Gaza. The President of the Palestinian authorities, Mahmoud Abbas, has so far appeared to be reluctant to give his blessing to any management arrangement that does not fully control it over Gaza.
On Tuesday, Mr. Abbas said at the summit that his administration was ready to restart Gaza, and also suggested that he could hold Palestinian elections with long -defined. Mr. Abbas offered Amnesty to the members of his party he expelled, an attempt to show the skeptical Arab leaders to reunite the broken Palestinian political landscape.
Mr. Abbas’ leadership at home was seen as ineffective in the end of the Israeli rule over Palestinians and sharply repressive when it comes to internal disagreement. He has a small support in Gaza.
The Arab Declaration approved on Tuesday was mostly based on the Egyptian draft proposal, which suggests that the armed Palestinian resistance would disappear only after the Palestinians secure statehood and rights. He says the issue could be resolved “if his causes are removed with a clear horizon and a credible political process that ensures legitimate rights of Palestinians.”
Arab countries also supported a detailed proposal for gauze renewal.
Palestinians in Gaza would remain in temporary residential units made of shipping containers on seven sites in the entire territory, with an average of six people living in every one, according to a plan of the plan that Arab diplomats shared with the New York Times.
In the first phase, which would last six months and cost three billion dollars, the ruins and non -exploded commands would be cleaned, 1.2 million people would be transferred to prefabricated temporary residential units, and 60,000 partly destroyed residential units would begin to rehabilitate.
In the next phase, for which Egypt would estimate, it would cost $ 20 billion and lasted until 2027, utility services and constant housing will be restored, and the ruins would be used to spread the gauze surface into the sea. Industrial zones, fishing ports, sea port and airport will be built during the final phase that cost $ 30 billion and lasted until 2030, according to the draft.
According to this frame, the bay nation -rich nation would probably pay for the renewal of Gaza, although Egyptian officials suggested that Europe could also contribute to the means. On Tuesday, the participants of the summit agreed to convene a donor conference in Cairo to increase financing and investment as soon as possible. “
