Israel's FM Yair Lapid proposes a plan to improve living conditions in Gaza in exchange for a Hamas commitment to 'long-term quiet'
Israel's Foreign Minister Yair Lapid said he had presented the plan to"partners in the Arab world", as well as to the United States, Russia and the European Union.
In the first stage of the plan, the infrastructure in Gaza would receive a sorely needed upgrade, Lapid said in a speech at the Reichman University in Herzliya on Sunday. "It won't happen without the support and involvement of our Egyptian partners and without their ability to talk to everyone involved," Lapid said.onstruction
