Cairo will host an extraordinary Arab league summit on 4th March, which was initially set for Representatives from the Gulf States, Egypt and Jordanare seeking a common position on the financing of reconstruction and the future governance of the Gaza Strip.
The Egyptian foreign ministry said the new date was agreed with Arab League members as part of “substantive and logistical preparations” for the summit.
The summit is convened in response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposal to take control of the war-torn Gaza Strip and relocate its Palestinian inhabitants to other countries, including Egypt and Jordan.
The President of the Syrian Arab Republic, Ahmed al-Sharaa, has also received an official invitation from Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to participate in the summit.
On Sunday, Egyptian President confirmed that his country is preparing a "comprehensive” plan to rebuild Gaza without displacing Palestinians.
Last Thursday, the President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi visited Riyadh to attend an informal meeting on the Palestinian issue. The meeting brought together the leaders of Egypt, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan.
