Egypt's Alternative to Trump's 'Gaza Riviera' Aims to Sideline Hamas
Egypt has drafted a plan for Gaza that seeks to replace Hamas with interim governance bodies managed by Arab, Muslim, and Western states, countering U.S. President Trump’s controversial vision for the region. The proposal, which will be presented at an Arab League summit, does not address critical issues such as funding for reconstruction or the timeline for implementation, leaving significant uncertainties regarding governance and security in the aftermath of ongoing conflict. While the plan aims to facilitate humanitarian aid and reconstruction, it faces rejection from Hamas and lacks detailed provisions for the future political landscape of Gaza.
