The United States and Israel have rejected the new Arab plan for Gaza's reconstruction, which was unveiled following the March 4 Arab Summit in Cairo. The plan does not mention the need for Hamas to lay down its weapons and relinquish control over the Strip, much to the dismay of the US and Israel. While the Arab plan may not entirely align with the expectations of the Israeli government and the Trump administration, its positive elements are noteworthy. The Arab countries appear to be united in their stance that Hamas should have no role in the future of Gaza. The Arab countries understand that for both Israel and the Trump administration, the removal of Hamas from power is a non-negotiable condition for moving forward.
