Meanwhile, the Israeli government criticized Egypt&#8217;s plan as\u2063 outdated, relying on the Palestinian\u2063 Authority while still \u200callowing Hamas a presence, a meaningful sticking point given the group&#8217;s terrorist\u2062 designation by the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>egypt&#8217;s $53 billion plan was proposed at a \u2064summit in Cairo and featured ambitious projects, including housing and infrastructure developments, \u2064looking to be funded by various groups,\u2063 including \u200dthe UN.
