Arab Leaders Plan Unified Response to Trump's Gaza Proposal

Arab states have swiftly rejected President Donald Trump's controversial plan for U.S. control of Gaza and the resettlement of its Palestinian population, prompting a diplomatic scramble to formulate a counterproposal. The plan has angered both Palestinians and Arab nations, undermining decades of U.S. efforts towards a two-state solution. Key issues, including the funding for Gaza's estimated $50 billion reconstruction and governance of the territory, remain unresolved as leaders from Gulf Arab countries, Egypt, and Jordan prepare to meet in Riyadh. An Egyptian proposal, which could involve $20 billion in funding, seeks to counter the U.S. plan but lacks clarity and commitment from involved nations. The outcome of the upcoming discussions is uncertain, with concerns over reaching a unified stance before an emergency Arab League meeting. Many stakeholders express confusion regarding the details of the proposed alternatives to Trump's plan.
