How much will it cost to rebuild Gaza after 15 months of war?

World Business Report

Available for over a year

A deal has been reached between Israel and Hamas to end the fighting in Gaza and secure the release of Israeli hostages. So, if the ceasefire holds, how long will it take to rebuild from the rubble? What would be the priorities? How much will it cost? And who will pay? We will look at all these with different guests, including the head of the United Nations Development Programme, Achim Steiner. Also in the program, you will hear that some US banks have had a good quarter—the earnings of Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo, Citibank, and JP Morgan Chase all came in above expectations, and their shares rose on the news.
