U.S President Donald Trump welcomes Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the entrance of the White House in Washington on Feb. 4. A spokesperson for Israel's Foreign Ministry, Oren Marmorstein, posted on X that the Egyptian plan "fails to address the realities of the situation" and said the summit's joint communiqué does not mention Hamas's Oct. 7, 2023, attack that sparked the war or condemn the militant group. The plan, he said, remains "rooted in outdated perspectives."
"No single state should be allowed to impose its will on the international community," Abdelatty said.Palestinians, Hamas welcome Egypt's plan "We are satisfied with these decisions and this summit," said Atef Abu Zaher, from the southern city of Khan Younis. "We are clinging to our land." Egypt's plan foresees rebuilding Gaza by 2030 without removing its population. The first phase calls for starting the removal of unexploded ordnance and clearing more than 50 million tons of rubble left by Israel's bombardment and military offensives.
