Arab countries are planning gaza concept for Trump shortly

Arab Foreign Minister plan to travel to Washington within the next few weeks to present US President Donald Trump proposal for the reconstruction of Gaza Jordanian official sources reported to CNN.

Trump’s controversial proposal

At the beginning of this month, the American President had proposed to drive 2.1 million Palestinians from Gaza and the area in a " riviera "that would be owned by the United States. This plan led to outrage in the entire Middle East and was decidedly rejected by regional leaders.

planned summit in Cairo

Arab leader will come together on March 4 for a larger summit in Cairo, in which a “roadmap” for Gaza and the conflict is expected. After the meeting, the top Arab politicians are expected to travel to the US capital in the following weeks to present the Trump administration's proposal, according to the sources.

focus on a solid plan

Arab officials want to make sure that it is "a solid plan" before submitting it to Trump, assured one of the sources. The Arab counter-proposal should not only include the reconstruction of the devastated area without the population expulsion, but also central questions such as the future government in Gaza after the war, the reform of the Palestinian autonomy authority and the use of peace and peace troops in the Gaza strip.

position of Jordan and Egypt

Jordan and Egypt - two countries that Trump brought into play as a possible recording country for the Palestinians - reject any displacement and consider this as a question of national security. An official said: "Our position is clear and clear that we will not accept a threat to our national security", and described this as a "red line" for Jordan.

dangers in West Bank

For months, Jordanian officials have been warning of attempts to pass Palestinians into the country. In September last year, the Jordan Foreign Minister said after an Israeli escalation in the West Bank that every attempt to drive Palestinians there to Jordan would be seen as a "declaration of war". In addition, Jordanian civil servants are concerned about an increase in violence in the West Bank and in Jerusalem during the Holy month Ramadan, which is expected to begin on Friday or Saturday.

Egyptian reconstruction plans

The Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly said last week that his country Gaza can completely rebuild within three years, so that it is in better condition than before, without naming details on his plan. If a permanent ceasefire in Gaza is achieved in the coming months, this vision could be realized before the end of Trump's presidency.

Cost of the reconstruction

The World Bank, the European Union and the United Nations said in a joint statement last week that the only three years would need to return fundamental services such as health and education as well as the evacuation of ruins. The complete reconstruction of the devastated area would take ten years and cost more than $ 50 billion. The cost of living space alone is estimated at $ 15 billion. The Egyptian Prime Minister emphasized that the plans of his country take these assessments into account.
