The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and European nations, including France, Germany, Italy, and the UK, have endorsed an Arab-led $53 billion plan for Gaza’s reconstruction after 15 months of war. The proposal outlines a sustainable recovery path, aiming to improve Palestinian living conditions. The joint statement emphasized Hamas should neither govern Gaza nor pose a threat to Israel. The plan prioritizes the Palestinian Authority’s leadership and reforms to ensure stability and long-term rebuilding efforts.
