RAMALLAH, NOV 4 /DNA/ – Government Communications Center – Prime Minister Dr. Mohammad Mustafa announced today that the government will circulate its executive program for Gaza’s recovery and reconstruction to all relevant countries and international institutions. The program outlines a strategic vision for recovery and reconstruction priorities and coincides with the publication of the updated Gaza Losses and Needs Assessment, prepared in cooperation with the World Bank and UN agencies. The Prime Minister emphasized that this initiative reflects the readiness of both the government and international partners to implement the program swiftly, within the constraints posed by the current circumstances.
At the start of today’s (Tuesday) weekly Cabinet session, Prime Minister Mustafa reaffirmed ongoing coordination with UN agencies, international partners, friendly nations, and donor entities to ensure coordinated and integrated interventions.
In a separate context, the Cabinet called on the international community to fulfill its legal and moral obligations by exerting pressure on Israel to halt the Knesset’s consideration of a draft law imposing the death penalty on Palestinian prisoners, describing the proposed legislation as a further indication of the extremist nature of the Israeli occupation government and its ongoing policies targeting the Palestinian people.
The Cabinet also highlighted the urgent appeal issued by the Government Operations Room to the United Nations, its humanitarian agencies, and the international community, calling for immediate action to rescue thousands of displaced families in Gaza’s low-lying areas at risk of flooding as winter approaches.
