CHANDLER, Ariz.—A half-dozen friends gathered at a hookah bar just outside of Phoenix for their regular hangout, when they came around to a topic that had animated them during the presidential election: what the future of Gaza would look like under President Trump.

France, Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom have announced support for the Arab-backed plan on Gaza, an opposition to President Donald Trump’s proposal. Europe’s powerhouses at the weekend described the proposition formulated by Egypt as a “realistic” post-war reconstruction method of action.

They say the Arab League's proposal for post-war reconstruction fails to address realities in Gaza.
