Abstract

​​​This report provides an analytical overview of the papers presented at a workshop titled "Toward Palestinian Frameworks for Reconstruction in the Gaza Strip," organized by Hikama: Journal of Public Administration and Public Policy and the Center for Conflict and Humanitarian Studies, on the sidelines of the Fourth Annual Palestine Forum hosted by the Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies in Doha, in cooperation with the Institute for Palestine Studies. Taking a critical perspective, the papers examined the U.S. and Israeli approaches proposed for reconstruction, emphasizing the need to articulate independent Palestinian national visions and policies. The contributions affirmed the centrality of Palestinians remaining on their land, ensuring their protection, and safeguarding their rights. They also highlighted the role of Palestinian political actors and local civil society organizations in shaping and implementing reconstruction policies, in addition to addressing governance-related issues. The papers further stressed the priority of rebuilding the Palestinian people themselves and strengthening the education, security, and food sovereignty sectors as foundational pillars of any national framework for reconstruction in the Gaza Strip.​​
