Italy’s Support for Gaza Reconstruction: Africa Implications
Italy’s support for the Arab-led Gaza reconstruction plan, spearheaded by Egypt, signals a strong commitment to regional stability, peace, and humanitarian relief without displacing Palestinians.
Italy backs a $53 billion reconstruction blueprint aligned with the two-state solution and emphasizes facilitating a ceasefire and humanitarian aid in Gaza.
This cooperation extends beyond Gaza to broader regional concerns involving Africa and the Mediterranean. Italy and Egypt are jointly addressing migration challenges linked to instability in Libya, a key transit country for irregular migration to Europe.
Both countries aim to dismantle smuggling networks and promote legal migration pathways, with Italy ready to accept more legal migrants from Egypt if illegal crossings are controlled.
