The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) is set to condemn Trump’s Gaza “Riviera” plan, backing Egypt’s $53 billion reconstruction proposal. A classified draft resolution, rejects the relocation of Gazans, calls for urgent international support, and mobilises opposition to the U.S. stance.
In a significant diplomatic escalation, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) is set to formally condemn former U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposed Gaza "Riviera” plan.
The classified document, marked “Very Urgent,” outlines plans for an emergency meeting of OIC foreign ministers in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where the 57-member bloc will vote on a resolution rejecting any attempt to relocate Palestinians from Gaza.
The draft resolution, obtained exclusively by AnewZ, describes Trump’s proposed relocation of Gazans as “ethnic cleansing” and “a grave violation of international law and a crime against humanity under the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.”
In a direct challenge to the U.S. position, the document explicitly endorses Egypt’s $53 billion reconstruction plan for Gaza – the same blueprint that received backing at this week’s high-profile Cairo summit attended by key Arab nations.
“The OIC welcomes the plan presented by the Arab Republic of Egypt, in full coordination with the State of Palestine and the Arab States,” the draft resolution states, urging “the international community and international and regional funding institutions to swiftly provide the necessary support.”
Egypt’s alternative vision for Gaza, as previously reported, aims to keep the territory’s two million residents in their homeland while focusing on large-scale reconstruction efforts. The plan includes clearing 50 million tons of rubble, establishing temporary housing, and developing sustainable communities featuring renewable energy, an airport, and seaports.
What makes this diplomatic confrontation particularly significant is the involvement of nations that normalized relations with Israel through the Abraham Accords during Trump’s first term. These countries are now aligning against his Gaza proposal.
The draft resolution also reveals plans for an international conference in Cairo “as soon as possible” to coordinate Gaza’s reconstruction and establish a trust fund for recovery projects. It calls for creating a separate fund to support approximately 40,000 orphaned children in Gaza and providing prosthetics to thousands of amputees, specifically referencing Jordan’s “Restoring Hope” initiative.
In its most forceful language, the document characterizes Trump’s proposal as an attempt to “liquidate the Palestinian cause” and mobilizes international pressure to counter it.
The resolution also supports the upcoming International Conference on the Two-State Solution, to be held at UN headquarters in New York in June 2025, chaired by Saudi Arabia and France.
The OIC document extends beyond Gaza to address regional tensions, condemning Israeli actions in Lebanon and Syria while calling for implementation of existing ceasefire agreements.
As diplomatic battles intensify over Gaza’s future, this exclusive document provides unprecedented insight into the unified opposition forming against President Trump’s controversial vision for the territory and its people.
