Saudi Arabia is leading urgent Arab efforts to create an alternative plan for Gaza's future in response to U.S. President Donald Trump's controversial idea of displacing Palestinians, according to sources.

Draft proposals, which emphasize reconstruction and exclude Hamas from governance, are set to be discussed at a meeting in Riyadh with key regional players like Egypt, Jordan, and the UAE.

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is central to this initiative, which aims to secure U.S. approval and address regional destabilization concerns while advocating for a Palestinian state.
