Arab League Agrees to $53 Billion Gaza Reconstruction Plan

HeadlineMar 06, 2025

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.
