The extraordinary Arabic Summit, held Tuesday in Cairo, adopted a Gaza raising and reconstruction plan presented by Egypt, in coordination with the State of Palestine and the Arab States, and is committed to providing all the financial, material and political support for its implementation.
The final press release adopted at the end of the summit urged the international community as well as international and regional financial institutions to “quickly provide the support necessary for this plan, knowing that reconstruction efforts must go hand in hand with the beginning of a political process with a view to a lasting and fair solution, allowing the Palestinian people to achieve their legitimate aspirations to establish their independent state and to live in peace and security.
The summit also praised the next holding, in Cairo, of an international conference on the recovery and reconstruction of Gaza, in cooperation with the state of Palestine and the UN, and called on the international community to participate actively to accelerate the rehabilitation and reconstruction of the Gaza Strip. He has also recommended the establishment of a fund where the contributions of all states and donor financing institutions will be filed, with a view to carrying out reconstruction projects.
The final press release insisted on “the imperative importance of continuing the full application of the cease-fire agreement in its second and third phases” and on “the need for each party to respect its commitments, in particular the Israeli part”.
He also praised the Palestinian decision to create a Gaza management committee under the aegis of the Palestinian government, made up of skills from the Gaza Strip, for a transitional period aimed at facilitating the return of the Palestinian national authority to Gaza.
Similarly, the summit urged the Security Council to “deploy international peacekeeping forces to help ensure the security of the Palestinian and Israeli peoples both in the West Bank and in Gaza, as part of a political perspective leading to the creation of the Palestinian state”.
He also supported the efforts of the international coalition for the implementation of the two-state solution, under the chairmanship of Saudi Arabia, in its capacity as president of the joint Arab-Islamic Committee on Gaza, the European Union and Norway.
On the other hand, the Arab Summit highlighted the vital role of UNRWA in the assistance of Palestinian refugees in accordance with its mandate defined by the United Nations in the areas of its intervention, in particular in the West Bank, in East Jerusalem and in the Gaza Strip.
He reaffirmed that the strategic choice of Arab countries is based on the establishment of a just and global peace, guaranteeing all the rights of the Palestinian people, in particular their right to establish an independent and sovereign state on its national territory, in accordance with the solution of the two states and the Arab peace initiative.
The summit reiterated its rejection of any form of displacement of the Palestinian people, whether inside their territory or abroad, under any pretext whatsoever, while firmly condemning the recent Israeli government’s decision to block the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.
