“We believe that the occupation is primarily responsible for the destruction of the Gaza Strip, so it should bear the cost of reconstruction,” Abu Marzouk emphasized.
He also pointed to a UN Security Council resolution on rebuilding Gaza and called for urgent, comprehensive reconstruction that addresses all sectors, including infrastructure, health, roads, power stations, and water networks.
In mid-October, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Sisi said that a conference on the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip would be held in Cairo in November.
