Arab summit adopts Egyptian Gaza reconstruction plan

CAIRO (Reuters) – An Arab summit convened in Cairo on Tuesday adopted an Egyptian plan for the reconstruction of Gaza, Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said during a closing statement.

The plan aims to counter President Donald Trump’s proposals for a “Middle East Riviera” by presenting a scheme for rebuilding the devastated strip without displacing its population.
