The Gaza Reconstruction Plan (officially the Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict) is an international initiative launched in late 2025 to rebuild the Gaza Strip following the Gaza war.[1] Proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump on September 29, 2025, and endorsed by United Nations Security Council Resolution 2803, the plan establishes a framework for transitional governance, security stabilization, and a projected $70 billion redevelopment project.[2]

Governance and Oversight

[edit]

The plan is structured around a dual-governance model to bypass traditional political stalemates:

  • Board of Peace (BoP): An international body with legal personality, chaired by Donald Trump. It handles global funding, strategic planning, and maintains a veto over local administrative decisions.[3][4]
  • National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG): A 15-member council of Palestinian technocrats, led by Dr. Ali Sha'ath, responsible for municipal services and public utilities.[5][6][7]

Reconstruction Phases

[edit]

Phase I: Stabilization (Oct 2025 – Jan 2026)

[edit]

The initial phase involved a ceasefire effective October 10, 2025, the release of all Israeli hostages, and a partial withdrawal of the Israel Defense Forces behind a designated "Yellow Line."

Phase II: Development (Jan 2026 – Present)

[edit]

Phase II was activated on January 14, 2026. Key projects include:

  • The Gaza Riviera: A coastal redevelopment project featuring high-density skyscrapers and tourism infrastructure.[8]
  • International Stabilization Force (ISF): A multinational force led by U.S. Major General Jasper Jeffers, tasked with clearing 42 million tons of rubble and training a vetted Palestinian police force.[9][10][11]

Financial Assessments

[edit]

The World Bank and UNCTAD estimated reconstruction costs at $53 billion to $70 billion. As of February 2026, permanent seats on the Board of Peace are offered to nations contributing a minimum of $1 billion to the fund.[4]
