Saudi Arabia will host the leaders of four Arab countries at a summit on Thursday to discuss Trump’s proposal for a US takeover of Gaza, a source with knowledge of the preparations has told the AFP news agency.
The leaders of Egypt, Jordan, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates will attend the summit, which is to take place before an Arab League meeting in Cairo one week later on the same issue, the source said.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, another source said Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas would also attend.
Trump sparked a global outcry with his proposal for the US to “take over” the Gaza Strip and move more than two million Palestinians out of the war-devastated territory, identifying Egypt and Jordan as possible destinations.
Trump made the proposal during a visit by Netanyahu to Washington, DC.
Arab countries have come together in a rare united front, outraged by the idea of displacing the Palestinians en masse. Regional states, including Saudi Arabia, have repeatedly called for a Palestinian state existing alongside Israel.
