Palestinians in Gaza welcome Arab plan but worry about potential obstacles

Palestinians in the war-ravaged Gaza Strip welcomed the reconstruction plan devised at the Arab summit in Cairo on Tuesday with cautious optimism, but feared it could face obstacles without US support. Arab leaders meeting in Egypt endorsed the plan for Gaza that envisions technocratic control of the war-battered territory without Hamas members and a $53 billion reconstruction plan, according to a resolution adopted at the one-day summit.
