Pakistan supports the Arab League’s reconstruction plan for Gaza under Palestinian Authority control. Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar emphasized the need for Israel to cease its actions against Palestinians. The OIC backed this proposal at a recent meeting, countering Trump’s controversial plan. While Arab leaders established a trust fund for reconstruction, the role of Hamas remains undefined, leading to its rejection by the U.S. and Israel.
Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Senator Ishaq Dar, has voiced strong support for the Arab League’s reconstruction initiative for Gaza. This support was articulated during an Extraordinary Session of the OIC Council of Foreign Ministers in Jeddah, where Dar firmly stated that Pakistan stands with the Palestinian people, reinforcing the need for Israel to halt its actions against them and comply with international law.
The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) endorsed the Arab League’s alternative to U.S. President Donald Trump’s controversial plan, which included displacing Palestinian residents. This endorsement followed an emergency meeting in Jeddah after the Arab League’s summit in Cairo, where a proposal was ratified to rebuild Gaza under the future control of the Palestinian Authority.
Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty affirmed the OIC’s acceptance of the Egyptian plan, now termed an Arab-Islamic plan, signaling widespread regional backing. Amidst global backlash against Trump’s notion of turning Gaza into a resort-like area, Arab leaders at the Cairo summit also established a trust fund for rebuilding efforts and urged global collaboration for funding.
The ambitious reconstruction plan aims to gain support from international stakeholders, including the European Union and countries like Japan, Russia, and China. However, this counter-proposal notably does not specify Hamas’s involvement, which has led to its rejection by both the U.S. and Israel, highlighting the complexities of governance in Gaza post-conflict.
Pakistan’s endorsement of the Arab League’s reconstruction plan underscores its commitment to Palestinian rights. The regional opposition to the U.S. plan reflects a significant shift in diplomatic strategy, with proposed international collaboration for Gaza’s rebuilding. Nevertheless, the exclusion of Hamas from discussions highlights the ongoing challenges and disagreements regarding governance in post-war Gaza.
