Egypt floats a plan for Gaza reconstruction. Egypt is developing a plan to rebuild Gaza without forcing Palestinians out of the strip in a counter to President Donald Trump’s proposal to depopulate the territory so the United States can take it over. Egypt’s state-run Al-Ahram newspaper said the proposal calls for establishing “secure areas” within Gaza where Palestinians can live initially while Egyptian and international construction firms remove and rehabilitate the strip’s infrastructure. More than 90% of the roads and more than 80% of health facilities have been damaged or destroyed, with damage to infrastructure estimated at some $30 billion.
