Government presents document at Arab League summit outlining its postwar strategy for Palestinian territory

Egypt has proposed a $53bn (£42bn) plan to rebuild Gaza, in a rushed attempt to present an alternative to Donald Trump’s idea for a property development-style plan, which involved a relocation of the Palestinian population that has been widely criticised as effectively endorsing ethnic cleansing.

The new proposal, presented at an Arab League summit in Cairo, focused on emergency relief, rebuilding shattered infrastructure and long-term economic development.
