With #Gaza #ceaseFire in sight, what are the plans of #Iran & #ArabLeague states to #resettle and #rehabilitate #Palestinians?

After destruction of #Europe in #WWII, #US launched the #MarshallPlan initiative (officially #EuropeanRecoveryProgram, #ERP)

This time, for sure, oil-rich #GulfCooperationCouncil #GCC states and #Iran should be able to funnel some of their massive oil-generated wealth to ease the suffering of their #Brothers and #Sisters in #Palestine, instead of just abandoning them?
