[Today's Prayer] Egypt's Counterattack on Trump's Gaza Plan... "Exclude Hamas"

It has been revealed that Egypt is preparing its own Gaza plan in response to US President Donald Trump's Gaza plan.

On the 3rd (local time), Reuters reported a draft of Egypt's Gaza plan, saying it was provided by an anonymous source involved in the Gaza negotiations. Egypt's Gaza plan is scheduled to be announced at the Arab League summit on the 4th.

According to Egypt's plan, an organization called the "Governance Support Mission" will replace the Hamas-run government in Gaza and will be responsible for providing humanitarian aid and starting the reconstruction of the war-ravaged Gaza Strip for an unspecified period of time.

The preamble explaining the goals of the draft states that "as long as Hamas remains the dominant armed political force on the ground and continues to rule the region, there will be no major international financial support for the restoration and reconstruction of Gaza."

Since President Trump announced last month that he would relocate Palestinians from Gaza to other areas and turn it into the “Laviera of the Middle East,” Egypt, Jordan, and Gulf Arab states have been working on diplomatic strategies to counter this. Egypt’s Gaza plan is part of this effort.

The proposal envisages an international stabilization force, mostly made up of Arab states, to maintain security in Gaza from armed groups, ultimately aiming to establish a new local police force. The security and administrative body would not operate independently, but would be under the direction of a supervisory board of Arab states.

However, Reuters noted that “Egypt’s plan does not include specifics on who would pay for the reconstruction of Gaza, how it would govern Gaza, or how Hamas would be excluded.”

“The future of Gaza must be decided solely by the Palestinians,” Sami Abu Zuhri, a senior Hamas official, told Reuters. “Hamas rejects any project, any form of non-Palestinian administration, and any foreign military presence in Gaza.”

When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest!” (Luke 19:37-38)

Lord, we hear that Egypt is preparing its own Gaza Strip plan in opposition to US President Trump’s Gaza Strip plan.

The world is planning what to do with Gaza for their own benefit, but only our Lord is the Lord of Gaza.

May the Holy Spirit work so that Gaza can be restored as a nation that follows Jesus, and please be among the world leaders who decide this, and lead them to make decisions and move forward according to the Lord’s will.

We lift up the Palestinian people living in Gaza Strip. Please let this nation, whose bodies and minds have been devastated by war, open their eyes and see Jesus.

We believe that only the love of Jesus can restore their tired bodies and minds and lead them to the hope of heaven! May the gospel be spread among the Palestinian people and may they see the history of restoration through the gospel.

We especially want the Egyptian church to take on this responsibility. May they pray for the Gaza Strip in the midst of complicated circumstances and may they fulfill the role of the church that serves the Palestinian refugees in Egypt with love and spreads the gospel.

We also want Egypt to rise up to fulfill the word in Isaiah 19. When we go out among all nations with the gospel, may those who hear the gospel rise up as those who prepare the way for the Lord’s coming.

Through Egypt, all nations will praise and extol God with a loud voice. May many who confess, “O King who comes in the name of the Lord,” rise up!

May many disciples rise up in Egypt and among all nations who praise the Lord and joyfully welcome the return of Jesus!
