The United States has demanded in recent days that Israel take financial responsibility for clearing the vast amounts of rubble across the Gaza Strip and oversee the enormous engineering operation required, according to a Ynet report citing a senior Israeli official.
Israel has agreed to the request, the report says, despite the projected cost reaching as high as one billion shekels. The Prime Minister’s Office has declined to comment on the matter.
The scale of destruction is immense. According to The Wall Street Journal, there are an estimated 68 million tons of debris in Gaza, a figure based on data from the UN Development Program.
Meanwhile, Qatar has publicly ruled out funding Gaza’s reconstruction. Speaking Sunday during an onstage interview at the Doha Forum, Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed Abdulrahman Al Thani made his position clear. “We are not the ones who are going to write the check to rebuild what others destroyed,” Al Thani said. “When you are talking about Gaza, Israel flattened this land.”
The Ynet report also notes growing diplomatic pressure on Israel regarding Gaza’s future governance and security. US Ambassador to Turkey Tom Barrack is expected to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu next week in an effort to persuade Israel to accept Turkish troops operating in Gaza — a proposal Israel has firmly rejected.
According to the senior Israeli official quoted in the report, US discussions with Israel are now focusing more heavily on reconstruction efforts and far less on the dismantling of Hamas. Netanyahu, in private conversations, has reportedly acknowledged that disarming Hamas will ultimately fall to Israeli forces themselves.

Not paying israel taxes for this.
This gezaira on Israel may be meeda k'neged needs for the gezaira against the chareidim and bnai Torah/yeshivos. All the money,and then some, taken away from chareidi and yeshiva families , to be used to rebuild Gaza for the Palestinians

Since you know about "meeda k'neged mida"
Maybe HKB"H took away money from the charediem and gave it to the Gazans because Chardeim have been ripping off the government all the time!
Have you given thought to this?
Chareidim never did a 10/7 massacre to gazans, Jews, or anyone else! Bnai Torah want to learn Torah and uphold the world and E Y. My American born son learns in a Jerusalem kollel that doesn't take government money

Tell your son that whoever told him that his Kollel doesn't take any money from the government is a bald-faced liar!
Do they pay Arnona on the building???? The answer is a big "NO" that by itself is taking money from the government!
Who collects the garbage? Who pays for the lighting when your kid walks out on the streets in front of the Yeshiva ??
How much money do the Menhalim and the Rosh Hakolel of your son pay for healthcare?? How much money do they pay when they get on the bus...transportation is subsidized by the Zionists!
Does your son have a Rav Kav ? Does he get a Student discount? Who the hell is paying for all that??
Tell your son to open a Tanach during his lunch break, and he will see that every single leader in Klall Yisrael since Moshe Rabbeinu had an army!
If you will tell me "Oh! But these were holy people," to that I will answer then we should throw the Chilonim out of the IDF and have your holy Kollel son enlist!
If you son wants to "hold up the world" he should take a couple hours in the week and give back to the Jewish people by visiting Soldiers that are on the front who with mesiras nefesh are protecting him so that he can go back at night and sleep in a warm bed!
He is not the only one "upholding EY" with his Torah.
Every single frum Jew in Israel learns Torah. You can visit any shul in the country and you will witness young baalei-Batim, seniors by the tens of thousands learning Torah, at any time during the day and night and even IDF Soldiers learning Torah on the front!
