An emergency summit of Arab leaders in Cairo is set to discuss a plan for Gaza put forth by Egypt, which aims to exclude Hamas from governance of the enclave once the current conflict ends. The draft of the plan, obtained by sources, outlines a strategy for the post-war period in Gaza.
The proposed plan involves the establishment of an independent, technocratic Palestinian committee to govern Gaza for a transitional period of six months. This committee would operate under the umbrella of the West Bank-based Palestinian Authority (PA) and would consist of members with no affiliations to Palestinian factions.
Referred to as 'Gaza 2030' and featuring an Egyptian presidential logo, the 90-page document also suggests that Egypt and Jordan collaborate to train Palestinian police forces for deployment in Gaza to ensure security in the region.
The plan is a response to US President Donald Trump's intentions to take control of Gaza, relocate its residents to neighboring countries, and transform it into a Middle Eastern 'riviera.' However, the Egyptian proposal firmly opposes the displacement of Palestinians from Gaza and calls on the international community to address the humanitarian crisis resulting from the conflict in the region.
Furthermore, the postwar plan emphasizes the need for transitional governance that upholds the two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and works to prevent the emergence of new hostilities in the area.
The plan is expected to be presented to President Trump in the coming weeks following discussions among Arab leaders at the Cairo summit. It underscores Egypt's efforts to chart a path towards stability and peace in Gaza, while also addressing the pressing humanitarian needs of the population affected by the conflict.
