Several European nations are throwing their weight behind an Arab-backed plan for the reconstruction of Gaza that would cost $53 billion and avoid displacing Palestinians.

Foreign ministers from France, Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom announced on March 8 that they supported a plan drawn up by Egypt and adopted by several Arab nations earlier in the week.
