Abdelatty stated that the Cairo Extraordinary Summit was a crucial event that successfully blocked displacement plans and secured broad Arab and Islamic support for Egypt’s Gaza reconstruction plan.

He noted that the plan, initially Egyptian, became an official Arab-Islamic initiative after being approved by the Arab League (AL) and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).

Abdelatty confirmed that efforts are under way to implement the summit’s outcomes, including an international trust fund to manage financial commitments for reconstruction and a separate fund for orphaned children.

The top diplomat also added that Cairo will host a Gaza reconstruction conference next month with international donors, including the United Nations and the World Bank.

He revealed that Egypt has secured support from 57 Arab and Islamic countries, along with backing from the UK, Spain, France, Germany, the European Union, and Japan.

Additionally, the minister noted that discussions have also taken place with China, Brazil, Russia, South Africa, and the African Union’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs, all expressing strong willingness to support the plan.

He affirmed Egypt's commitment to rebuilding Gaza while ensuring that no Palestinian is forced to leave their homeland. (MENA)
