Arab Nations Unite to Tackle Gaza's Future Amid Tensions with US

Arab countries, led by Saudi Arabia, are formulating a plan for Gaza's future to counter President Trump's proposal, which suggests resettlement of Palestinians outside Gaza. They propose an alternative plan centered on reconstruction and sidelining Hamas, with hopes of gaining US approval.

Saudi Arabia is leading urgent Arab initiatives to formulate a strategic plan for Gaza's future in response to U.S. President Donald Trump's contentious Middle East proposal. The draft ideas will be discussed in Riyadh with countries like Egypt, Jordan, and the UAE actively involved.

Reports suggest proposals may include a Gulf-led reconstruction fund and efforts to minimize Hamas's role, an initiative met with resistance towards Trump's plan to relocate Palestinians outside Gaza. Arab states are attempting to unite on a new plan to present to the U.S. president.

With key figures like Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman playing a pivotal role, the upcoming meetings aim to consolidate the region's stance while addressing internal governance, security, and reconstruction challenges for Gaza's future.
