German minister: We want to help rebuild Gaza, this will require private sector

Germany wants to provide rapid support for the reconstruction of Gaza in the event of a lasting peace agreement, Development Minister Reem Alabali Radovan says.

“Germany is ready to assist with the reconstruction,” Alabali Radovan tells the Handelsblatt newspaper.

She says Germany wants to initially help with mobile temporary housing and is in favor of bringing in the private sector for the reconstruction.

“It won’t work without private capital. The reconstruction of Gaza, Syria or Ukraine requires sums of money that we could never raise from public budgets alone,” she says.
