The White House has reportedly agreed to the Egyptian plan for Gaza reconstruction, but with a significant condition: Hamas must be removed and fully disarmed. This development comes as the international community continues to seek a lasting solution to the Gaza conflict. According to recent reports, Egypt's plan for Gaza reconstruction involves a comprehensive five-year initiative, projected to cost $53 billion.¹ The plan includes a committee of experts to oversee the clearance of rubble and unexploded ordnance, followed by a four-and-a-half-year reconstruction phase. However, the plan's success hinges on addressing the complex issue of Hamas's future. Israel has expressed concerns about the plan, citing the need for a security-only approach in dealing with Hamas. The US role in the process will be crucial, with some suggesting that a coordinated US-Arab effort could help prepare the ground for peace negotiations between the Palestinian Authority and Israel.

Manchester United have confirmed that defender Willy Kambwala has left the club to join Villarreal in a €10m (£8.4m) deal.
The 19-year-old earned the trust of head coach Erik ten Hag in the 2023-24 campaign, where he played 10 times for the first team thanks to the Red Devils' frequent injury problems at the back.
Kambwala, who joined the Man United academy from Sochaux in 2020, made eight Premier League appearances for the 20-time English champions - three from the first whistle - while also featuring twice in the Red Devils' triumphant FA Cup campaign.
The versatility of the Frenchman came in handy last term too, as he played both centrally and on the right-hand side of defence for Man United, but his contract was due to expire in the summer of 2025.
Despite already seeing their defensive ranks thinned by the exit of Raphael Varane on a free transfer, Man United accepted a reported bid of £8.4m from Villarreal for Kambwala, whom the Red Devils paid a moving tribute to on Monday
