Yedioth Ahronoth: For these reasons, Israel may take over funding the removal of debris in Gaza

The article discusses Israel's potential role in funding and leading the debris removal efforts in Gaza as per a source from the Peace Council, emphasizing its military and political interests in the matter.

An article from Al Jazeera cites Yedioth Ahronoth reporting that Israel may take on the funding and leadership role in the removal of debris in Gaza. This move is deemed crucial for Israel, with military and political interests tied to the rapid destruction of unexploded ordnance and the dismantling of the extensive tunnel network in the area. According to a source quoted from the Peace Council, Israel is described as the only entity capable of effectively managing the demolition work with the necessary efficiency.

The article goes further into the implications of international financial contributions towards the removal efforts. It notes that the financial commitments from various nations will rely heavily on 'good will' rather than being binding contracts. With the scope of the debris removal being extensive, there is a call for wide participation; however, it appears that the primary responsibilities and capabilities will rest on Israelโ€™s planning and operational strengths.

The context of this discussion is centered around a recent Peace Council conference held in Washington, where substantial financial pledges amounting to at least $17 billion were announced. Among these commitments, $10 billion is expected from the United States, although it has not been fully confirmed that this amount will go towards reconstruction. Additional funds are anticipated from several Gulf states and others, indicating a collaborative but complex approach to the multifaceted recovery process in the wake of recent conflicts in Gaza.
