OIC Adopts Arab Plan For Gaza Reconstruction

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation adopted today, Saturday, at the conclusion of its emergency ministerial meeting in Jeddah, the Arab plan to rebuild Gaza without displacing Palestinians, to confront the proposal of US President Donald Trump, and urged the international community and international and regional financing institutions to quickly provide the necessary support for the plan.

The organization stressed that all these efforts “go in parallel with the launch of a political path and a horizon for a permanent and just solution with the aim of achieving the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people to establish their state and live in peace and security.”

It added, following its ministerial meeting held to discuss the ongoing Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people and attempts to displace them from their land, in its final statement, “absolute rejection and firm confrontation of plans aimed at displacing the Palestinian people individually or in groups, inside or outside their land.”

It also condemned the policies of starvation and scorched earth aimed at forcing the Palestinian people to leave their land.

The statement welcomed the holding of an international conference in Cairo for recovery and reconstruction in the Gaza Strip, and urged the international community to participate in it to accelerate the rehabilitation and reconstruction of the Strip after the destruction caused by the Israeli aggression, and to work on establishing a trust fund that will receive financial pledges from all donor countries and financing institutions, for the purpose of implementing recovery and reconstruction projects.
