Arab leaders approve $53bn alternative to Trump's Gaza plan
Previously I posted a report of Trump's plan turn Gaza into a holiday resort: away from being a base solely for Hamas Palestinian terrorists intent on annihilating Israel and its Jewish citizens.Though I commented it being somewhat fanciful I did feel that the concept was a good one for both civilising the area and providing meaningful employment for Gazans.An alternative to murder, kidnapping and digging tunnel repositories for arms and the corpses of its captives.I have also commented on the fact that near by Arab states with great wealth have kept their distance from the 'freedom fighting' of their Palestinian, Iranian and Syrian neighbours.And particularly had not offered to invest their wealth for the betterment of all. However, on BBC News today -'A $53bn (£41.4 billion) reconstruction plan to rival President Donald Trump's idea for the US to "take over Gaza" and move out more than two million Palestinians has been approved by Arab leaders at an emergency summit in the Egyptian capital Cairo."The Egypt plan is now an Arab plan," announced the secretary general of the Arab League Ahmed Aboul Gheit at the end of this hours-long gathering.Without referring specifically to President Trump's ideas, he underlined that "the Arab stance is to reject any displacement, whether it is voluntary or forced".Good news.An Arab solution to an Arab problem and no displacement of peace seeking Gazans.I wonder how Hamas will respond ?
