In addition to Egypt’s $53bn, five-year plan for Gaza’s reconstruction, state-affiliated Al-Qahera News channel said the reconstruction “would require arrangements for transitional governance and security that preserve the prospects of a two-state solution”, Al Jazeera reports.

“The two-state solution is the optimal solution from the perspective of international law and the international community,” the plan says.

According to the channel, the plan “will take three years to implement and includes early recovery programs and reconstruction efforts running in parallel, while advancing towards a two-state solution as part of a political resolution”.
