The European Union has coordinated efforts to raise 900 million euros ($1 billion) in pledges of aid for Gaza’s rebuilding following two years of Israeli bombardment that left much of the Palestinian enclave in ruins, a senior EU official said Monday.
How much of the money will be delivered, and when reconstruction of Gaza can begin, is unclear. The ceasefire between Israel and the Hamas militant group that took effect in October is effectively stalled.
European Commissioner for the Mediterranean Dubravka Šuica announced the fund after a meeting in Brussels of the Palestine Donors Group, which includes EU and Middle East nations along with international organizations and financial institutions.
“The ceasefire in Gaza remains fragile, and the situation on the ground for civilians is not getting better,” Šuica said. She said the money will move through “trusted partners” but didn’t give details.
Few places in the Palestinian territory of over 2 million people have been left unscathed, and the United Nations, World Bank and EU estimate that reconstruction will cost $70 billion.
The U.N. has said Gaza has more than 60 million tons of rubble, enough to fill nearly 3,000 container ships. It will take over seven years to clear, with additional time for demining.
The meeting also brought together Nickolay Mladenov, the head of the Board of Peace set up by U.S. President Donald Trump to lead Gaza’s reconstruction; Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner; Ali Shaath, the head of the new Palestinian committee meant to administer Gaza’s daily affairs but still unable to enter; and Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa.
Mladenov has made clear that the next steps in implementing the ceasefire are stalled over the difficult issue of disarming Hamas militants in Gaza.

Pledging, delivering.........
“How much of the money will be delivered, and when reconstruction of Gaza can begin, is unclear.”
And how much will be stolen is also unclear.
Let the Gazans rot in their own feces and continue to be led by a terror group that will never lay down their arms.
On the other hand, let the Europeans bring in a tidal wave of PALEOstinian immigrants and help bring down Western civilization in Europe.
And if it’s delivered, you can be sure that the bulk, if not all, will make it into the Hamas coffers to rebuild their impressive concrete tunnels to continue firing missiles into Israel. Yes, the EU are suckers.
As earlier, europistan.
Good for them. It keeps us from having to do it later.
Good for them. Guess we no longer need to raise money for defending Ukraine, ending global hunger, ending human trafficking, etc. We’ll sit this one out and let you Euros carry the financial burden for once.
And the bastards won’t raise one red cent for Israel to repair the damage it suffered when those same Gazans crossed a peaceful border to massacre 1300 people and kidnap 250 others. PHUCK Europe, I am happy that my ancestors left that POS continent.
They not only left, they told the King of England to GFY and made it stick.
Oh, so they’re going to fund Hamas instead of us. Ok.
Bulldoze it.
Bureaucrats taking OPM to help terrorist enclaves.
They’d be better off spending the billion on its demise.
All of it
Gad Saad describes this mindset quite well. Guess it really is time for another European Dark Age.
Europe as the “Cradle of Western CiviliSation” is on it’s deathbed.
The amazing thing is that it is self-inflicted.
In the meantime they pretend to support and care for the lowest scum of the Earth on the planet while vilifying Democratic Israel.
It’s OK though because the Europeans will indeed pay for their folly and lack of moral certitude.
In the future they will seek out Israeli Defense tactics, technology and innovation in order to combat the hoards of Barbarians now within their gates.
Gad is 100% correct unfortunately.
