Gaza Strip reconstruction and recovery efforts

Overview

On September 23, 2026, the Gaza Peace Council, led by Donald Trump, announced a six-month, $2.45 billion recovery plan. Developed by experts from a 28-nation council in collaboration with the Palestinian technocratic government, the proposal outlines 66 projects across six strategic areas: infrastructure, human development, economic acceleration, digital transformation, legal affairs, and peace and security.

Financial allocations include approximately $1 billion for infrastructure, which includes $400 million for mobile housing to relocate displaced persons and $275 million for debris removal. Security is a major focus, with $885 million allocated, including $275 million for a fortified site in Rafah to house 5,000 members of an international stability force and $120 million for Palestinian police mobilization. Additionally, $300 million is earmarked for health, education, and social welfare, while $20 million is designated for a weapons buyback program intended to restrict arms to legitimate authorities.

Implementation remains contingent on cooperation between Israel and Hamas. While Hamas has expressed preliminary interest in disarmament, Israel has reportedly declined to begin implementation due to internal political considerations, despite some Israeli officials providing preliminary approval for certain aspects of the plan. These efforts address a landscape where total material damages are estimated at $35.2 billion, with full reconstruction projected to cost $71.4 billion over the next decade.
