the Tuesday meeting between King Abdullah II US President Donald Trump ended in a tense expectation of what will happen after that of Gaza.

Trump’s suggestion was that the United States was “taking over” the Palestinians ’pocket and expelled them to Egypt and Jordan.

King Abdullah stated during an improvised press conference that an alternative plan to rebuild Gaza without ethnic cleansing will be made by Arab countries, including Egypt, which was already planning an Arab summit in emergency situations in Gaza on February 27.

Hours later, Egypt issued a statement that it will make a “comprehensive vision to rebuild Gaza while ensuring that the Palestinians remain on their soil” and restored its commitment to work with the United States to reach a “fair settlement to the Palestinian issue.”

What is at the test of Egypt?

Yaqoub Ericsson, lecturer of recovery studies after the war at York University, said, “

“If Trump continues, he may put Egypt in a difficult situation,” he added, referring to Trump’s threats that he will freeze aid boxes to Egypt if they do not cooperate.

“While Egypt continues to face the increasing economic challenges associated with debt and inflation, this may have a great impact.”

Since 1946, the United States has granted Egypt more than $ 85 billion in bilateral foreign aid, including military and economic assistance, according to the American Chamber of Commerce in Egypt.

Egypt was the fifth largest recipient of US foreign aid in 2023, Receive $ 1.45 billion85 percent of them were for the military sector.

The Egyptian journalist House of pregnancy said that Cairo aid receives “a statement that Egypt is a close ally and a partner for Washington” and tells strong political support from Washington.

But the money is not everything.

Although foreign support is vital for the survival of the current Egyptian administration, the internal political peace, which can destabilize their stability if the Palestinians are allowed to be expelled.

Al -Shalamawi said: “A generation after a generation of Egyptian youth had Palestine as a gateway to politics.”

In addition, … [Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi] It is very concerned about the repetition of the Beirut scenario, where the Palestinian resistance operations in one way or another gave Israel a justification to go to Lebanon and occupy it for a very long time, “referring to the Israeli attacks on Lebanon and the occupation of its lands for different periods, including the day.

At the present time, until Trump stops talking about forcing the Palestinian displacement, Sisi said he would do he would do so Do not attend any conversations In the White House.

Egypt has no choice but to work with other Arab countries on counter -resistance that you can defend together.

“Any radical action may offer important agreements.”

“Egypt, similar to Jordan, can offer injured individuals and their families, albeit at a greater rate and a number of the number proposed by Jordan,” Nasef proposed.

King Abdullah said on Tuesday that Jordan could “immediately” Take 2000 sick children.

Egypt has treated the injured Palestinians in its hospitals since the beginning of the war, and it is possible that it will continue to do so in larger numbers when the crossing is opened.

“While any major economic contribution to rebuilding Gaza is likely to be difficult to look at it can contribute financially,” said researcher Jacob Ericsson.

Reconstruction efforts

Israel said it will not do that Replace the Palestinians Or helps to pay to repair the damages it caused in Gaza. Instead, it will be up to the regional countries and the international community to implement any plan that Egypt and Jordan provided.

“One can definitely speculate, [this plan] It will include recruiting huge amounts of money and financial from the Gulf … to accelerate the reconstruction process for the Palestinians without removing them. “

Egyptian construction companies seem ready to cooperate with an international effort to rebuild Gaza. For example, HiSham Talaat Moustafa, real estate and construction pole, said in a television interview on February 9 that he is working on a reconstruction plan that requires the participation of about 40 to 50 construction companies from Egypt and other countries.

“Egypt can contribute to reconstruction efforts with a guarantee that Ghazan does not need to be forced to go out,” Nasef said, adding that “they will not have to have a convoy and tents, which Israel continues to ban,” Egypt’s efforts must be transferred by the Gulf, due to Egypt’s economic problems.

The Gulf states have played an important role in financing aid that arrives in the Gaza Strip in the past few months, where the Gulf Cooperation Council announced in December that their member states – Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. Collectively, it was given 650 million dollars of humanitarian aid to Gaza, along with the occupied West Bank, since October 2023.

The rebuilding of Gaza, where the vast majority of buildings and infrastructure have been destroyed by Israel, will cost much more.

But with Trump’s Trump’s plan in Gaza, which holds matters and the ceasefire in Gaza, which threatened to collapse last week, Arab countries are under pressure.
