Bloomberg: Trump finds it difficult to convince Arab countries to invest in the reconstruction of Gaza

US President Donald Trump faces the challenge of convincing Arab and Muslim countries to allocate billions of dollars for the reconstruction of Gaza. Bloomberg reports this, citing sources.

Financial Barriers and Political Conditions

The UN estimates the cost of rebuilding Gaza at $70 billion. However, Saudi Arabia, constrained by falling oil revenues, is ending the practice of non-repayable grants. The United Arab Emirates demands political clarity and the complete disarmament of the Hamas group, recognized as terrorist in the US and EU. Qatar, in turn, insists on guarantees of Israel fulfilling the terms of the agreement.

Each party seeks to have a say in the management of the territory. This creates a complex diplomatic game where every step requires precise calculation.

Diplomatic Efforts and International Participation

The ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip was signed on October 13 in Cairo by leaders of the US, Egypt, Turkey, and Qatar. In his speech in Jerusalem, Trump thanked Arab and Muslim countries for their commitment to the safe reconstruction of Gaza and their promise to allocate funds.

The Role of the US and International Forces

US Vice President J.D. Vance noted in an interview with Fox News that the Gulf countries will make the largest economic contribution, while Washington will be required to provide diplomatic support. Trump also announced that an international military contingent will be deployed in Gaza to maintain stability. Exact dates are not specified, but it will happen “fairly quickly.”

According to The Times of Israel, the stabilization forces will be led by Egypt and will include military personnel from Azerbaijan, Indonesia, and Turkey. European or British troops are not expected. The US insists that the corps have a UN mandate but operate not as a classic peacekeeping mission, but on the model of international forces in Haiti.

These steps are part of Trump’s plan for settlement in Gaza. Questions remain, but diplomacy continues to seek paths to stability.
