Minister of Foreign Affairs Badr Abdelatty said Monday that Egypt and Jordan have commenced training Palestinian police officers for deployment in the Gaza Strip as per the Gaza reconstruction plan.

Abdelatty spoke at a meeting in Cairo with over 100 foreign ambassadors and international representatives, alongside Health Minister Khaled Abdel-Ghaffar. The meeting focused on the reconstruction of Gaza and included a presentation on the Arab-Islamic plan, which was ratified at the Extraordinary Arab Summit on 4 March.

He outlined a proposal for the UN Security Council (UNSC) to authorize international peacekeeping forces with clear mandates in Gaza and the West Bank via resolution to support the establishment of an independent Palestinian state. The UNSC resolution is part of the Arab-Islamic plan and seeks to enhance security and aid state building, according to a draft of the plan obtained by Ahram Online.
A technocratic committee will oversee Gaza for six months and the return of the Palestinian Authority (PA) to manage the recovery process while Palestinian police forces are trained in Egypt and Jordan, per the plan.

Abdelatty emphasized that a sustained ceasefire and Palestinian ownership of the recovery process are key conditions for the plan's success.

The $53 billion reconstruction plan has garnered regional and international support as it stands in contrast to a previous proposal by US President Donald Trump, which suggested forcibly displacing Palestinians — a position Trump later reversed.

Egyptian sources told Al Arabiya the US will respond to the Arab plan by the end of March, after requesting a review of potential Gaza leaders, excluding those linked to Hamas. Cairo is also organizing a conference to secure funding for the reconstruction effort.

Health Disaster

Abdel-Ghaffar stated that Egypt has provided more than 107,000 Palestinians with medical treatment since the start of the genocidal Israeli war on Gaza, at a cost of over $570 million, according to the statement.

He also highlighted the dire situation in Gaza, where medical supplies are scarce and more than 70 percent of health facilities have been damaged.

Abdel-Ghaffar outlined Egypt's proposals to rebuild and strengthen Gaza's health infrastructure, including projected costs.
