On February 18th, US President Trump repeatedly disregarded international opposition and stated that he would “take over” and “empty” Gaza, and that Palestinians living there should be relocated to other countries for resettlement. In addition to receiving support from Israel, the remarks made by the US have sparked condemnation from multiple parties. In response to Trump’s Gaza plan, multiple Middle Eastern countries will discuss a reconstruction plan for the Palestinian Gaza Strip this month. Currently, four plans for the future of the Gaza Strip have been drafted, with the one proposed by Egypt receiving the most attention. Egypt proposes to establish a committee composed of Palestinians to manage the Gaza Strip, but the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) will not participate in the management; The international community should participate in the reconstruction of Gaza, but not force its residents to relocate to other countries, and continue to promote the realization of the “two-state solution”. Sources say that although the alternative proposed by Egypt “doesn’t have much new content,” they believe it is enough to change Trump’s mind.
