Germany wants to organize an international conference with Egypt for the reconstruction of Gaza, Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Friday, as Israel and Hamas edge closer to ending hostilities. The main goal of this conference “should be to address the most urgent needs, such as rebuilding water and energy supplies and medical care,” Mr Merz said. The official said Germany will provide an additional €29 million ($33.5 million) in humanitarian aid and will help in “supporting the medical and psychological care of the released hostages”.
