In an exclusive interview with CGTN, Khaled Qaddoumi, Hamas' representative in Iran, unveiled a bold vision for Gaza's reconstruction and governance. The proposal? A technocratic committee focused on two urgent priorities: rebuilding shattered infrastructure and preparing for elections. But will this plan stick in a region haunted by cycles of conflict?
The Blueprint: Rebuild & Reset
Qaddoumi described the proposed committee as a 'neutral platform' to coordinate international aid and oversee "massive reconstruction efforts"—a critical step given Gaza's estimated $18.5 billion in war-related damages. The second goal? Laying groundwork for elections that could reshape the political landscape 🗳️.
Governance Puzzle: Who Gets a Seat?
While Hamas remains a key player, Qaddoumi hinted at including multiple factions in Gaza's future administration. Analysts speculate this could mean roles for groups like Fatah and independent figures—but trust issues linger. "Unity is easy to promise, harder to maintain," says Middle East expert Layla Hassan.
The Big Question: Sustainable Peace?
With ceasefire deals historically fragile, many wonder if this plan addresses root causes. Qaddoumi emphasized "prioritizing Gazans' needs over politics," but skeptics note challenges like border control disputes and rival factions' ambitions 🌍⚖️.
One thing's clear: Gaza's path forward will test both local resolve and global diplomacy.
