Leading EU countries have said it supports Arab -backed Gaza Reconstruction plan, which will cost $ 53 billion ($ 41 billion) and will avoid moving Palestinians from the territory.
The plan composed of Egypt and approved by Arab leaders, has been rejected by Israel and by US President Donald Trumpwho presents his own vision to turn the Gaza tape into the Riviera in the Middle East.
On Saturday, French ministers of France, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom welcomed the plan that called on Gaza to be restored for five years as “realistic”.
In a statement, they said the proposal promised “a quick and steady improvement in the catastrophic living conditions” for Gaza people.
The plan calls for Gaza to be temporarily managed by a committee of independent experts and international peacekeepers to be implemented on the territory.
The Committee would be responsible for the supervision of humanitarian aid and the temporary management of gas deeds under the supervision of Palestinian power.
The proposal is an alternative to Trump's idea of taking a gas and resetting their population.
It was Welcomed by the Palestinian power and Hamas After being introduced by Egypt at the Arab League summit on Tuesday.
But both the White House and the Israeli Foreign Ministry said they were unable to cope with Gaza's realities.
“Residents cannot humanely live in territory covered by debris and unexplored ammunition,” said Brian Hughes, a spokesman for the Trump National Security Council late Tuesday.
“President Trump is standing in his vision to restore Hamas gas,” the statement added.
A statement issued by the four European countries on Saturday said they were “engaged to work with the Arab initiative” and evaluated the “important signal” that the Arab countries sent through its development.
The statement states that Hamas “should neither rule Gaza nor be a threat to Israel” and that the four countries “support the central role of Palestinian power and the implementation of its reform program.”
The proposal was prepared against the backdrop of increasing concern that Deal to the fragile cessation of the fire of gas can collapse After the six -week first phase expired on March 1.
Israel is blocking assistance from entering the territory to Hamas to accept a new proposal in the United States to temporarily extend the armistice, during which more hostages held in Gaza will be released in exchange for Palestinian prisoners.
Hamas insisted that the second phase should start under a negotiated, leading to the end of the war and the complete withdrawal of the Israeli troops.
Almost all 2.3 million Gaza had to leave their homes since the start of hostilities. Israel began military operations after the attack of Hamas October 2023, killing about 1,200 people and saw another 251 hostages taken.
Gaza has suffered enormous destruction with a huge humanitarian impact. More than 48,000 Palestinians were killed during Israel's hostilities, according to Hamas's health ministry, and a large infrastructure throughout the strip is leveled by air strikes.
