Egypt is actively training hundreds of Palestinians to assume security roles in Gaza once the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas ends, according to the country's foreign minister. This initiative is part of a broader plan for Gaza's postwar governance, which Egypt first proposed in March and has continued to advance despite the ongoing violence and uncertainty over Gaza's future leadership. The plan, backed by the Arab League and other regional organizations, envisions the Palestinian Authority governing Gaza as a step toward Palestinian statehood, in contrast to Israeli proposals for annexation. International pressure on Israel has increased amid reports of severe humanitarian conditions in Gaza, with some European countries threatening diplomatic measures unless progress is made toward peace. Egypt remains engaged in ceasefire negotiations and has criticized Israel's actions in Gaza, particularly regarding the humanitarian crisis.
