relative word ?

Secretary General Ban Ki-moon set a permanent solution must be found. Because this is the last time the said that the international community will rebuild Gaza only to have it torn down again by another war.

I feel weird about the last sentence because the international community will rebuild Gaza , and yet the prerequisite is to have it torn again?! So I don't think I comprehend the last sentence. Could you explain it or catch me out?
