MASSIVE Blow From Egypt Sends Israel Into Total Panic!

Right, so we now know a fair bit more about Egypt’s much vaunted plan for the reconstruction of Gaza, their plans not requiring the removal or relocation of the Gazan people in order to rebuild the Strip and I have to say I’m liking what I’m seeing by way of ideas here, all set to be presented before other Arab nations at a Saudi hosted summit on the 4th March. This is a plan that will require a global effort to pull off, nations will be presented with a choice to put up or shut up where it comes to their expressions of sympathy towards the Palestinian people, because now there’s an opportunity to back that up with action, but when it will definitely put nations on a collision course with Israel, those who refuse to take part, and I’m looking at our Prime Minister Keir Starmer especially here, they’ll be totally exposed as the Israeli shills many of us already suspect them to be.
Where he hasn’t yet allegedly seen the plans despite more detail having been made public, I doubt very much that Donald Trump will be thrilled by these plans either, which for my money doubles the credibility of what Egypt are offering here. It’s a solution, it’s not a quick one, it’s not a cheap one, but it is the right one, therefore I expect vested interests to stand in its way.
Right, so Egypt’s ambitious plan to rebuild the Gaza Strip after the devastation caused by Israel’s genocide of the Strip looks good to me, they’ve looked at not just the reconstruction, but the wider aspects and knock on effects this genocide has had as well and how to resolve those matters as well, though you may find you question some of it certainly, any plan of this kind, any vision for Gaza as this is it is essential there is a good debate about it. As much as it is about rebuilding Gaza, it’s also about geopolitics, regional stability, a direct challenge to what Israel think it can get away with and a direct challenge to Donald Trump’s ethnic cleansing vision for Gaza. So, what’s in Egypt’s plan? Here’s an excerpt laying it all out:
‘According to Al-Araby al-Jadeed, Egypt has developed a plan for the reconstruction of Gaza, which will be presented to US President Donald Trump as an alternative to his vision to ethnically cleanse the strip.
The plan is structured in two phases: the first focuses on large-scale reconstruction over ten years, including infrastructure, housing, and creating "safe spaces" in northern Gaza. A key part of this stage involves addressing the weapons issue, imposing restrictions on weapons depots while not disarming Palestinian resistance factions. European and Egyptian authorities would jointly supervise these depots. An Arab committee, led by Egypt, would also handle disputes between local security and Palestinian resistance factions.
The second phase includes setting a timeline for a "two-state solution" and establishing connections between Gaza, the West Bank, and Jerusalem.
The plan also proposes continued US security involvement but limits its role to monitoring specific locations, including points of contact between Gaza and Israeli settlements. The Egyptian plan faces criticism from an unnamed Gulf state, which opposes Egypt's rejection of proposals aimed at encouraging the migration of Gaza's residents.
Israel also opposes the plan, demanding full control over the reconstruction process to prevent Hamas from strengthening militarily. Egypt is seeking Arab support for the plan, which will be discussed during upcoming summits in Riyadh and Cairo. The aim is to secure enough backing to pressure the US to convince Israel to accept the proposal.’
To start with, let’s not forget the scale of the devastation. Israel’s genocide has left Gaza in ruins, entire neighbourhoods have been flattened, infrastructure destroyed, and thousands of lives lost. The United Nations estimates that rebuilding Gaza could cost tens of billions of dollars and take decades, but Egypt reckon they can do it in 10 years, of course that’s assuming the ceasefire becomes permanent and that this happens now, before Israel resume atrocities as still seems the likeliest next step.
Rebuilding Gaza is going to be about more than just putting the money into bricks and mortar, it has to address the root causes of everything that has led to the current conflict and creating a sustainable future for not just Gaza’s people, but for all Palestinians and the wider Middle East, where Israel has proven to be such a disruptive force.
So let’s dig into this plan a bit further. Cairo has stepped forward with a comprehensive plan to rebuild Gaza, not just in terms of construction but also in reshaping the region’s political landscape. It’s a direct challenge to Donald Trump’s vision, which many critics say is less about rebuilding and more about displacing Palestinians entirely and so from that standing point alone it ought to have the support of right thinking people the world over, even if some details they may take issue with.
According to reports, the proposal focuses on three key areas: reconstruction, governance, and regional stability. First, Egypt is calling for an international fund to finance Gaza’s reconstruction, with contributions from Arab states, the EU, and other global partners. Any state and world leader who has said that Gaza must be rebuilt, it’s time to put your hands in your pockets. If you’ve been backing Israel, you should pay more frankly, to do more than just rebuild homes but engage in restoring hospitals, schools, and critical infrastructure, a humanitarian effort the likes of which may never have been seen before.
Egypt’s plan also includes a proposal for a new governance structure in Gaza. This is still rather a hazy area of the plan, of course there is much more detail we still don’t yet know, the idea is to create a unified Palestinian leadership that can oversee reconstruction and eventually negotiate a lasting peace with Israel, a move towards the two state solution that frankly I do have reservations about because I cannot see Israel ever agreeing to it without being sanctioned into the ground, which nobody ever seems willing to do, not least the United States. This new authority would replace the Palestinians Authority and Hamas in Gaza, no elections held in Gaza since 2006, since Hamas beat the PA in elections to run Palestine and Mahmoud Abbas of the PA decided to say no and squat in post where he has remained ever since. Gaza fell under Hamas control as Palestine split along political lines, but they’ve no moral high ground having not held elections themselves either. In the name of peace would Hamas agree to this? Perhaps on the basis of one upping an Israel guaranteed to refuse to support it, maybe, but it’s a big political ask and will take some seriously talented negotiators.
Oversight coming from Egyptian and European states and not the US is a welcome move as well and one Trump may kick back at - Israel certainly already are, as they are demanding control of such oversight – because they have been as much of a problem as Israel have been, without their weapons, Israel could not do what it has been doing, but it also offers Trump an out from his own ethnic cleansing stupidity, given he and his forces can fall back to minimal roles just addressing security in some areas.
Trump’s plan of course, calls for the ‘voluntary resettlement’ of Gazans outside the Strip - ethnic cleansing as that basically is, taken control of by the US as a redevelopment opportunity for Trump and his appalling family.
Egypt’s plan, on the other hand, is all about keeping Palestinians in Gaza and giving them a voice in their future, which Trump would take away.
While Egypt is pushing for a regional consensus though, they haven’t got 100% of that it seems. According to an Arab diplomat, at least one gulf state is hesitant to fully back Cairo’s plan, fearing it could alienate the US and Israel, not quite sure which state could be so quisling given it’s not been made public, but if I were a betting man I’d be looking at the UAE, who’s US ambassador has opined unpopularly that the ethnic cleansing of Gaza is the only way, though that has been rebuked by the nations leaders, or perhaps it might be Bahrain, who joined in with the US on missile strikes on Yemen last year, but I daresay they’ll make their feelings known to us publicly in due course.
This brings us to the bigger picture though and different states having different ideas about regional stability. By addressing the root causes of the conflict and giving Palestinians a stake in their future, Cairo hopes to reduce the appeal of extremism and create a more stable Middle East. It’s a vision that aligns with the interests of most Arab states, but clearly not all of them who prefer more westernised ties.
Trump remains a massive hurdle though. While he hasn’t yet seen Egypt’s plan, it’s safe to say he won’t be thrilled. Trump’s vision for Gaza is all about Israeli dominance and marginalising Palestinian voices. Egypt’s plan, by contrast, is about empowerment and inclusion. It’s a clash of ideologies – I won’t say a clash of ideas and thinking, because thinking is painful for the carrot complexioned calamity leading the US but the outcome, should things move Egypt’s direction, could shape the region for decades to come and optimistically peace there too.
Of course, Egypt’s plan isn’t without other critics claiming this plan is unworkable. Some argue that it’s too ambitious, given the political divisions among Palestinians and the lack of trust between Gaza and the West Bank, but frankly this is nonsense when if successful, neither Hamas nor the PA would be involved Others worry that it could be another false promise, like so many reconstruction plans before it and lets face it, Egypt have always been typically close to the US themselves and very placating towards Israel so this would mark a significant shift for Egypt away from that, though Sisi’s survival as President may necessitate that.
Egypt’s plan represents a real, viable alternative to Trump’s plain illegal vision that the Israeli hard right are in love with, the rule of law not ever applying to them in their heads, always the victims and never the aggressors despite being the occupiers. This presents itself as a chance to break the cycle of violence and create a sustainable future for Gaza. And that’s something definitely worth fighting for.
One other possible reason for this shift against Israel on Egypt’s part, with tanks outside of Rafah and all the rest of it, is because of a plan leaking from Israel which detailed a doomsday style attack on Egypt by Israel, all part of the Greater Israel ideology, but one which could see millions of Egyptians killed into the bargain, a genocide on a scale that would put the last 15 months of Gaza in the shade.
