Egypt will provide the Gaza Strip with $500 million to finance its reconstruction following Israel’s bombing campaign against the militant group Hamas. President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi made the announcement in Paris during trilateral talks with French President Emanuel Macron and King Abdullah of Jordan aimed at drafting a concrete cease-fire proposal.
"Due to the latest developments in Gaza Strip, Egypt will allocate $500 million for the reconstruction of the Palestinian coastal enclave," Sisi’s office posted on Facebook, adding that Egyptian firms will take part in the rebuilding.
