The Egyptian government has presented a plan for the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip. This would cost $ 53 billion and the population would not resettle. The plan was designed for five years and, unlike the vision of the “Riviera of the Middle East” by US President Donald Trump.
The Egypt project includes investments in infrastructure and housing, including a port, a technology center, an airport and beach hotels. In the first phase, 200,000 of a total of 400,000 planned residential units must be built. The residents must currently be housed in transition accommodations and the rubble must be deleted.
The second phase then provides permanent houses for the population and infrastructure projects such as a fishing port and airport. The plan was designed for five years, 4.5 of them for the second phase.
Financing unclear
The Egyptian plan would cost $ 53 billion. It is unclear how the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip should be financed. In the latest explanation of the Arabian top, the international community and donors are asked to help quickly. The Egypt president Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said on Tuesday that Palestinian experts should follow humanitarian aid and to temporarily manage the Gaza Strip until the Palestinian authority could return.
The Hamas, currently in the Gaza Strip, would largely be largely invalidated according to the plan. Nevertheless, she welcomed Egypt’s new plan. After a short civil war, Hamas had sold the Palestinian autonomy authority of the Gaza Strip in 2007 and has since suppressed all opposition.
Incidentally, Al-Sisi was convinced that Trump could also contribute to a peace solution in the region. Earlier, his proposal was sharply criticized by the Arab side.
