Reconstruction of the Gaza Strip is set to begin soon under the framework of the US-established 'Gaza Board of Peace', with costs estimated at over $70 billion, according to a report by journalist Daniel Amram. The report says the decision was made by Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump, even as Hamas retains control of the Strip, and while thousands of evacuees from the Gaza border area have not yet returned home.
A new report by journalist Daniel Amram indicates that reconstruction of the Gaza Strip is expected to begin soon through the US-established 'Gaza Board of Peace' framework, at an estimated cost of over $70 billion. The report states that the decision was reached by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Donald Trump.
As The Zioneer previously reported (Tue 21:21 Jerusalem), this represents a renewal of the reconstruction initiative, which follows earlier reports about the Board's activities. The report notes the reconstruction is proceeding even as Hamas continues to exercise control over the Strip, and while large portions of the Gaza border area remain evacuated, with thousands of residents still displaced since October 7.
It remains unclear which entities will fund the reconstruction, how the Board of Peace will operate given Hamas's presence on the ground, and what timeline is envisioned. The report did not provide additional operational details.
