History

Historical Context

In 1948 the United States launched the Marshall Plan, providing $13.3 billion to 16 European nations to rebuild economies and foster integration; the program began on April 3 and ran for four years. The European Union’s €900 million Gaza assistance follows that post-war reconstruction model, seeking to promote regional stability and a framework for future aid.
