I was wondering who is going to pay for the reconstruction of all the razed apartment buildings, schools and hospitals in Gaza? Are the US and Europe going to do that, or is Israel going to do at least this?

I am genuinely curious what the US (Americans) think about this, they provide Israel with munitions and military aid which are used to destroy civilian buildings and infrastructure in Gaza and then they will pay once again to restore them?

Wrong question. The right question is: Who's going to make a fortune on the reconstruction of Gaza?

Lol Israël providing water to Gaza? => "look how they make profit from Gaza!" Israël shutting water down? => "look what they doing, starving and torturing the civilians!"

Can't win this

That was not what I was talking about. If anything will ever be built there, it will be a BIG job. And someone will make a shitload of money with that, regardless if they are from Gaza, Israel, or elsewhere. A beefy chunk of money coming from private donations, international support pledges or other states' foreign help will end up in the (offshore) bank accounts of a few corrupt people.

I know you're making more of a cynical joke, but no contractors are gonna be willing to go into Gaza to rebuild under Hamas.

Some construction supplies wholesaler might make a killing, though.
