Egypt to host Gaza reconstruction conference in November
Cairo to organize international donor conference with Arab League, OIC, and Palestinian Authority to coordinate Gaza rebuilding efforts
CAIRO, Egypt (MNTV) — Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi announced that Egypt will host an international conference in November focused on the reconstruction of Gaza, in collaboration with the Arab League, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), and the Palestinian Authority (PA).
Sisi made the announcement during his address at the 42nd Cultural Symposium of the Armed Forces, held to commemorate the 52nd anniversary of Egypt’s October 6 victory over Israel.
The president praised Egyptians for their resilience amid recent economic challenges and emphasized that his government is advancing key domestic reform programs while also maintaining regional humanitarian commitments.
The planned conference aims to bring together donor countries, international institutions, and private sector representatives to coordinate post-war rebuilding efforts in Gaza. Participants will discuss the framework for reconstruction, identifying priorities for short-term relief and long-term recovery.
According to early outlines, the initial phase will focus on clearing debris, restoring vital infrastructure, ensuring access to essential services, and providing temporary housing before moving toward comprehensive urban redevelopment.
Egypt has played a central role in mediating between Israel and Palestinian factions during the ongoing conflict, alongside the United States and Qatar. Sisi used his remarks to commend U.S. President Donald Trump for supporting ceasefire negotiations and facilitating humanitarian access.
He also instructed Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly to work with civil society organizations and government bodies to establish a transparent donation mechanism allowing citizens and institutions to contribute to the Gaza reconstruction fund.
The United Nations has estimated that more than 80 percent of Gaza’s buildings — including homes, hospitals, schools, and places of worship — have been destroyed, with approximately 90 percent of the population displaced. UN assessments suggest that rebuilding the enclave could require around $70 billion.
