What does Egypt’s post-war Gaza plan mean for Hamas?

Egypt’s 91-page plan for the future of Gaza, unveiled at an extraordinary Arab League summit in Cairo this week, makes no mention of Hamas. 

The proposal sets out a $53bn budget and a five-year timescale for the reconstruction of the Palestinian enclave, devastated by 15 months of Israeli war. It also outlines a vision for post-war governance in Gaza. 

Arab states, including Egypt, are proposing their own alternative to a plan to forcibly expel Palestinians from Gaza proposed by US President Donald Trump.

Cairo's plan states that for the first six months, the territory would be run by a non-partisan technocratic committee, overseen by the Palestinian Authority (PA).
