The Reconstruction and Rehabilitation of Gaza

David L. Phillips

World Affairs, 2025, vol. 188, issue 3

Abstract: Gaza has been devastated by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and will require a sustained, long‐term effort for reconstruction and rehabilitation. In this contribution to the World Affairs Special Issue on “The Israel‐Hamas War: Upending the Fundamentals of the Israeli‐Palestinian Conflict,” I discuss several critical elements facing Gaza in the long road to reconstruction and rehabilitation and tease out some of the main priorities. It will take Gaza decades to rebuild. However, Gaza needs a quick impact plan to mitigate the effects of war. Recovery needs to start immediately once durable peace is achieved. 加沙地带饱受以色列国防军 (IDF) 的摧残, 需要持续、长期的努力才能重建和复兴。在《世界事务》特刊的这篇题为“以色列‐哈马斯战争:颠覆以巴冲突根基”的文章中, 我将探讨加沙在漫长的重建和复兴之路上面临的几个关键因素, 并梳理出一些主要的优先事项。加沙的重建将耗时数十年。一旦实现持久和平, 恢复工作就需要立即启动。 Gaza ha sido devastada por las Fuerzas de Defensa de Israel (FDI) y requerirá un esfuerzo sostenido y a largo plazo para su reconstrucción y rehabilitación. En esta contribución al Número Especial de Asuntos Mundiales, titulado “La guerra entre Israel y Hamás: Trastocando los fundamentos del conflicto israelí‐palestino,” analizo varios elementos críticos que enfrenta Gaza en el largo camino hacia la reconstrucción y la rehabilitación, y destaco algunas de las principales prioridades. La reconstrucción de Gaza tardará décadas. La recuperación debe comenzar de inmediato una vez que se logre una paz duradera.
