Reconstruction of the Gaza Strip will take years, and implementing the peace plan proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump will face numerous difficulties, according to a U.S. State Department representative. Speaking on the first anniversary of the peace summit in Sharm El Sheikh, Tommy Pigott stated that Gaza's recovery will be a complex, years-long process. He added that the plan's implementation will also be challenging. "Nevertheless, we are making real progress toward a demilitarized Gaza where Palestinians can live without Hamas rule, and Israel will achieve genuine and lasting security for years to come," the State Department said in a statement. The peace summit, held in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, on October 13, 2025, focused on ending the war in Gaza and advancing Washington's proposed settlement plan. Ynet correspondent in New York Daniel Edelson reported on the remarks.
