Nations willing to fund US$70b needed to rebuild Gaza as Trump signs peace plan in Egypt
Israel's military has fired on Palestinians in northern Gaza, killing at least six people. The apparent return to hostilities comes a day after US President Donald Trump declared an end to the war, alongside Muslim and European leaders in Egypt. Meanwhile, rebuilding Gaza will come in subsequent phases of a 20-point peace plan and involve tens of billions of dollars. Several states have expressed willingness to fund that effort. Two years of war has destroyed or damaged more than 80% of buildings, with the UN estimating at least 55 million tonnes of accumulated rubble. Blake Sifton reports from Tel Aviv.
