Leaders from the Arab states of the Persian Gulf region as well as Egypt and Jordan will meet upon a request by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman within the framework of “close brotherly relations” to discuss a response to Trump’s plan, according to Saudi state news agency SPA.
The agency cited a Saudi security source as saying that the talks would focus on an Egyptian proposal on the issue.
In a February 11 meeting with Trump in Washington, Jordan’s King Abdullah II said Egypt would present a plan regarding the matter.
Trump has recently said that the US should “take ownership” of the Gaza Strip and displace its more than 2 million Palestinian inhabitants. He has suggested that neighboring Jordan and Egypt should take the displaced Palestinians in.
His scheme has triggered widespread outrage throughout the Muslim world and globally.
