Google Maps satellite images, accessible to any user, reveal the extent of destruction in Rafah: the city has been almost completely leveled, except for a few public buildings. At the beginning of the year, the Trump administration announced an ambitious reconstruction plan for Gaza, starting in Rafah, but it has not progressed. In July, the cabinet approved the entry of the Peace Council into the Strip, but an international force has not yet entered. On the sidelines of the UN General Assembly last week, members of the Peace Council met and announced a $2.4 billion reconstruction plan, including 66 projects. Tony Blair claimed that Hamas had agreed to lay down its arms. General Jasper Jeffers said an international stabilization force is training to dismantle tunnels and weapons. Nikolay Mladenov noted that a Palestinian technocratic committee is already operating in the Strip, but the elections in Israel complicate progress.
