Arab leaders have endorsed a reconstruction plan for Gaza that would see Palestinians remaining in the enclave, opposing Donald Trump's controversial "Middle East Riviera" plan. "Gaza 2030" was put forward by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and approved at an emergency summit of the Arab League in Cairo on Tuesday,

Arab leaders on Tuesday endorsed Egypt’s postwar plan for the Gaza Strip that would allow its roughly 2 million Palestinians to remain, in a counterproposal to US President Donald Trump’s plan to depopulate the territory and redevelop it as a beach destination.

Egypt's Sissi said there was “consensus among the Arab countries to support the reconstruction plan for the Gaza Strip, which allows the Palestinians to stay on their land without displacement”

Trying to counter President Trump’s call to “clean out” Gaza, Arab leaders have begun to outline their own vision for Palestinians in the territory.

Arab League states approved an Egyptian proposal for a phased reconstruction plan that would keep Palestinians in Gaza while excluding Hamas from governing.

The foreign ministers of France, Germany, Italy and Britain welcomed the plan, which calls for Gaza to be rebuilt over five years.

France, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom have announced their support for Egypt's proposed rebuild, which is in direct competition with Trump's plan.
