New hopes for Gaza: Egypt plans to reconstruction in billions!

In a dramatic turning point in the conflict between Israel and Hamas, Israel has proposed new conditions for a ceasefire. According to reports from Time plans Israel, under the so-called "Witkoff-Plan" to make the militant group released half of its remaining hostages. This would happen in exchange for an extension of the current ceasefire, while Hamas still insists that the Israeli troops are withdrawn and all hostages are released immediately, such as vienna.at reported.

Numerous hostages are still in the hands of the Hamas, and while Israel has blocked access to basic care for the population in the Gaza Strip, Egypt and the Arab league are behind an extensive reconstruction plan for the region, which is supposed to incur costs of around $ 53 billion. The details include the construction of new residential complexes and social infrastructure while Hamas is accused of abusing humanitarian aid for their own finances. There are also tensions in this precarious situation, since both sides accuse each other of violating the ceasefire.

unclear future

While the first phase of the ceasefire, which was negotiated in January, has already expired, the second phase remains unclear. Israel poses in a strong negotiating position, since the Witkoff Plan takes off to reduce Hamas' influence before serious conversations can take place on a permanent solution. Nevertheless, the political situation for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remains tense because his coalition government receives pressure from extreme right -wing partners who require a complete breakdown of Hamas. At the same time, the support of American President Donald Trump is perceived as unclear in this matter, although he generally supports Israel's goals.

With the reconstruction plan and the ongoing conflicts in the region, both the civilian population and the political actors are under immense pressure. The path to a sustainable peace remains rocky, while the aid deliveries in the Gaza Strip were stopped and the international community is trying to find a quick solution.
