Egypt is set to present a “comprehensive vision” for the reconstruction of Gaza that aims to avoid displacing the population, diverging from a proposal put forth by US President Donald Trump. The Egyptian foreign ministry has expressed a desire to collaborate with the Trump administration on its plan, but has emphasized the importance of foreign intervention that does not undermine the progress towards peace.
The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, however, is at risk of collapsing as tensions rise. Hamas has announced a delay in the planned release of hostages, prompting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to issue an ultimatum. Netanyahu has declared that if Hamas does not return all 76 hostages by Saturday noon, the ceasefire will come to an end. Although Hamas has reassured its commitment to the ceasefire agreement, it has placed the responsibility for any delays or obstacles on Israel.
The situation remains volatile as both sides grapple with conflicting demands and threats. Egypt’s proposed reconstruction plan for Gaza will be crucial in restoring stability to the region and preventing further escalation of tensions. Stay tuned as developments continue to unfold.
