White House Rejects Egypt’s Gaza Reconstruction Plan for Not Forcing Palestinian Expulsion
Washington (Quds News Network)- The White House has rejected Egypt’s proposal for rebuilding Gaza, which Arab League leaders adopted on Tuesday, stressing that the US believes that the people of Gaza need to be expelled, reported Axios. White House National Security Council spokesman Brian Hughes explained the decision. “The current proposal does not address the reality that Gaza is uninhabitable,” Hughes said. “Residents cannot humanely live in a territory covered in debris and unexploded ordnance.” He reaffirmed US President Trump’s goal to get rid of Hamas, echoing one of Israel’s war goals. “President Trump stands by his vision to rebuild Gaza free from Hamas,” Hughes stated. Arab leaders had gathered in Cairo for an emergency summit to discuss Gaza’s future. They approved Egypt’s reconstruction plan, which includes: * A six-month administrative committee to govern Gaza under the Palestinian government. * Egyptian and Jordanian training for Palestinian police. * A medium-term ceasefire and a commitment to a two-state solution. * Debris removal and temporary housing for displaced residents. * Palestinian elections within a year if conditions allow. * A united Arab stance against forced displacement of Palestinians. The summit reaffirmed its rejection of any forced displacement, a policy US President Donald Trump previously suggested. The plan was accepted and praised by UN Secretary-General António Guterres, who stressed that “Gaza has no future outside a Palestinian state.”
