Arab League Agrees to $53 Billion Gaza Reconstruction Plan
----------------------------------------------------------

Leaders of the Arab League have agreed to Egypt's $53 billion, five-year
proposal to rebuild the Gaza Strip without permanently displacing its
more than 2 million residents, as President Trump has proposed. The
reconstruction plan seeks to first clear rubble from Gaza's main highway
while building temporary housing for 1.2 million people left homeless by
Israel's U.S.-backed assault. Later phases would see at least 400,000
permanent homes built; water, sanitation, power and telecommunications
restored; and the reconstruction of Gaza's seaport and international
airport.
