Cairo: The European Union welcomed the Arab Recovery and Reconstruction Plan adopted by the recent Extraordinary Arab Summit in Cairo. In a statement on Sunday, the EU said that this plan represents a serious basis for discussions on the future of the Gaza Strip and the EU will discuss these ideas with its Arab partners.

According to Qatar News Agency, the statement emphasized that any plan for the future of Gaza must provide credible solutions for reconstruction, governance, and security. Recovery and reconstruction efforts must be based upon a solid political and security framework acceptable to both Israelis and Palestinians, which provides peace and security to both sides.

The Extraordinary Arab Summit, “Palestine Summit”, held Tuesday in Cairo, adopted Egypt’s plan regarding early recovery and reconstruction of Gaza as a comprehensive Arab plan. The summit worked to provide all types of financial, material, and political support to implement it, as well as urging the international community and international and regional financing institutions to swiftly provide the necessary support for the plan.
