Recommendation 20
20
Accepted in Part
Paragraph: 69
Host an international conference on sustainable Gaza reconstruction, engaging donors and Palestinian businesses.
Recommendation
The UK Government should use its convening power and host a conference to consider how reconstruction of Gaza can be factored into future plans and how the international community can support that in a sustainable manner. This conference should include potential donor nations, multi-lateral organisations, such as the UN, and Palestinian businesses who have been involved in rebuilding Gaza previously and have expertise to share as well as a stake in the future.
Government Response Summary
The government partially agrees, acknowledging the need for the international community to consider Gaza's recovery and reconstruction and its ongoing engagement with stakeholders. However, it is not currently ready to commit to hosting an international conference as recommended.
