Egypt to Host 2025 Gaza Reconstruction Conference

During the 42nd educational seminar organized by the armed forces, as part of Egypt’s celebrations for the 52nd anniversary of the ‘Glorious October Victory’, held at the Al Manara International Conference Center, the Egyptian President expressed gratitude to US President Donald Trump for his efforts in supporting the ceasefire endeavors. President Sisi announced that ‘Egypt will host an international conference for the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip in November 2025’, urging the Egyptian people to actively contribute to the reconstruction efforts as an expression of solidarity, responsibility, and love towards the Palestinian brothers.

The Egyptian President tasked the Prime Minister with coordinating with civil society organizations and relevant state entities to study the establishment of a national mechanism to collect contributions and donations from citizens as part of funding the Gaza Strip reconstruction process.

Speaking about the challenges faced by the state, President Sisi emphasized that ‘Egypt has gone through difficult circumstances over the past two years’, stressing the importance of the role of media and art in raising public awareness, disseminating truths, and protecting the state from misinformation campaigns.

On the previous Monday, Egypt hosted a peace summit in Sharm El-Sheikh, chaired by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and US President Donald Trump, with the participation of leaders and delegates from about 20 countries. Over two years of ongoing Israeli war on the Gaza Strip, the area has been devastated from the far south to the north, destroying the medical sector, schools, universities, places of worship, infrastructure, and vital resources that support life in the area. Fifteen vital sectors in Gaza have been destroyed, with the attacks resulting in large numbers of Palestinian civilian casualties and injuries.
