In a move that has drawn widespread condemnation, U.S. President Donald Trump plans to take over Gaza and resettle its Palestinian population, inciting fears of regional instability and threatening a fragile ceasefire. Arab officials have voiced concerns over the potential repercussions of this controversial proposal.

The Arab League's Secretary General, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, told a summit in Dubai that Trump's plan could plunge the Middle East into another cycle of crises, adversely affecting peace efforts. Trump's announcement to transform Gaza into the "Riviera of the Middle East" has outraged many in the Arab world.

As tensions rise, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced an ultimatum to end the ceasefire unless hostages held by Hamas are released. Meanwhile, neighboring countries like Jordan and Egypt have rejected resettlement notions, as regional leaders prepare for an emergency summit to address these developments.
