Hamas welcomed Egypt's Gaza reconstruction plan and called for providing means for its success, following an emergency summit in Cairo where Arab states adopted the Egyptian proposal on Tuesday.
Egypt has developed a comprehensive reconstruction plan for the Gaza Strip, to counter the proposal of U.S. President Donald Trump's to take control of Gaza and displace its Palestinian population.
In an official statement on its Telegram channel, Hamas asserted that the Arab Summit in Cairo represents "an advanced stage of Arab and Islamic solidarity" in support of the Palestinian cause.
"We welcome the Gaza reconstruction plan adopted in the summit's final statement and call for ensuring all necessary resources for its success," Hamas said also expressing its "support for the formation of the Community Support Committee to oversee relief efforts, reconstruction and governance in Gaza,"
Hamas also expressed appreciation for Egypt's efforts in organizing an international conference dedicated to Gaza's reconstruction.
During his speech at the Extraordinary Arab Summit in Cairo, President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi announced that Cairo will host a Gaza reconstruction conference in April and establish a dedicated fund for reconstruction efforts.
Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit stated in a press conference on Tuesday following the summit that Egypt's reconstruction plan has officially become 'the Arab plan' after receiving unanimous approval from all Arab states during the Extraordinary Arab Summit.
Moreover, Hamas expressed its support for the summit's commitment to strengthening Palestinian national institutions, stressing that they should embody the aspirations of the Palestinian people for freedom and independence by holding legislative and presidential elections as soon as possible.
