Israel denounces Arab summit's statement on Gaza plans
The Israel Foreign Ministry condemned on Tuesday the statement issued from the Arab summit held in Cairo regarding Egypt's plans for Gaza's reconstruction, claiming that the statement "failed to address the realities of the situation following October 7th."
"Notably, Hamas' brutal terrorist attack, which resulted in thousands of Israeli deaths and hundreds of kidnappings, is not mentioned, nor is there any condemnation of this murderous terrorist entity, despite its well-documented atrocities and the threat it poses to Israel and the region," the ministry said. It added that the summit's statement still relies on the Palestinian Authority and United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), which demonstrated corruption and support for "terrorism," according to the ministry.
The ministry also reiterated its support for United States President Donald Trump's plan for Gaza and accused Arab states of rejecting it "without giving it a fair chance."
