The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump rejected a long-term plan for the reconstruction of Gaza, which was supported by Arab leaders.
They said that the president stood by his own vision, which involves expelling Palestinian residents from the strip and turning it into a “Riviera” owned by the United States.
National Security Council spokesman Brian Hughes said in a statement on Tuesday night: “The current proposal does not address the reality that Gaza is currently uninhabitable and that the population cannot live humanely in an area covered with debris and unexploded ordnance.”
He added, “President Trump is committed to his vision for rebuilding Gaza, free of Hamas. We look forward to further discussions to achieve peace and prosperity in the region.”
The post-war plan for the Gaza Strip, proposed by Egypt, calls on Hamas to relinquish power to a temporary administration until the Palestinian Authority assumes control after implementing reforms, allowing about two million Palestinians to remain in the strip, in contrast to Trump’s proposal.
Israel has excluded any role for the Palestinian Authority in the Gaza Strip in the future.
