The initial €883.6 million package will help restore water systems, electricity, health care, sanitation, agriculture and other essential services. The European Union said the initiative is focused on helping Gaza recover while rebuilding critical infrastructure.
Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and a member of the U.S.-appointed Gaza Executive Board, has played a key role in developing Washington’s postwar vision for Gaza, including plans for reconstruction, investment and future governance. His participation was seen as an important step in coordinating efforts between the United States, Europe and other international partners.
The European Commission said countries including Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, Japan, Switzerland, Sweden, Belgium, the Netherlands, Norway, Finland and the World Bank have already pledged funding, with additional countries expected to join in the coming months.
The conference also addressed the Palestinian Authority’s financial crisis and called for additional international cooperation to support Gaza’s long-term recovery and economic stability.
