Gaza isn't going to be rebuilt any time soon. Not unless the initiative is led by anyone other than the Qataris, Turks or Palestinians.

Well, if those three are going to be doing all that, I guess they can lead in funding to rebuild Gaza.
Somehow, I don't think they will.

Buildings also don't grow on trees, 71 billion seems relatively c**** since the place is leveled or do you expect everyone in Gaza to live in tents for the rest of their lives?

You seem to not understand what I am saying.
Hamas is notorious for funneling a large portion of any aid given for their nefarious reasons. If a project costs 71 billion, it will most likely actually cost several hundred billions because of how much Hamas will steal or literally rip apart to make weapons or to sell off
It is the sad reality that until Hamas is dealt with, Gaza will never be able to rebuild

That’s a valid concern, which is exactly why the current reconstruction frameworks are trying to rely on international oversight and technocratic committees to bypass Hamas entirely not saying it is perfect, but if your alternative is waiting for a perfect political vacuum with 0 signs of anything that can be considered Hamas while leaving 2 million people in the rubble, then it's even easier pickings for Hamas to find their next members in that rubble.
Edit: So yes, if that's your best solution, yeah, I guess I don't understand what you are saying.

Killing 70,000 people, the vast majority of whom were innocent, and destroying the homes of almost all residents, the vast majority of whom were innocent, leaves you with a bill regardless of the actions of Hamas.

Some of the GCC states have said they don't want to pay money if Hamas is still in charge, because it will be throwing good money after bad.They paid billions to rebuild after 2014. And they said this before the war with Iran when they were flush with cash and not being bombed by Hamas' masters.

Only because Ukraine is much bigger. The front cities dont look much different than Gaza. Having said that, dont start wars you can't win and if you do, dont parade corpses in the streets with cheering civillians, that kills all the sympathy of the victim, in this case Israel. I have seen the pictures.
The response of Israel was totally predictable by past behaviour.

Gaza is pretty much destroyed, around 80% of buildings are damaged or destroyed, thats very severe. Still, as you said, Ukraine was truly a victim that was attacked with no reason. The destruction in Gaza was kicked of by Hamas attack on Israel.
