Arab foreign ministers met with U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff in Doha on Wednesday, launching a dynamic dialogue on an ambitious Gaza reconstruction plan. Approved at an Arab summit in Cairo on March 4, the blueprint is estimated at $53 billion and is designed to rebuild Gaza while keeping its community intact.
Representatives from Qatar, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates, along with the secretary-general of the Palestine Liberation Organization's executive committee, presented the plan. They emphasized the importance of establishing a ceasefire in Gaza and the occupied Palestinian territories, laying a foundation for a just and comprehensive peace based on a two-state solution.
The discussion in Doha marked a commitment to continued consultations and coordination, reinforcing regional security, stability, and long-term development. This initiative stands in contrast to previous proposals that suggested redevelopment coupled with population relocation, highlighting a clear focus on community stability and sustainable progress.
By merging political dialogue with practical action, the meeting resonated with a globally connected audience, from young global citizens to thought leaders and digital nomads, all eager for transformative change and lasting peace in the region.
