Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi on Friday departed Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, after participating in an informal meeting to discuss the Israeli-Palestinian conflict with Gulf Arab states and Jordan.
Arab countries said to be rushing to formulate an alternative to the plan of US President Donald Trump to redevelop war-torn Gaza into an international beach resort and his call on Egypt and Jordan to take in resettled Gaza Palestinians.
Although both countries rejected the proposal, citing national security concerns, there are no signs Arab states are making serious progress on a counter-plan.
It was gathered that the meeting, called by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, was attended by Jordan’s King Abdullah and Crown Prince Hussein, Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and his national security adviser, Kuwait’s Emir Sheikh Meshal al-Ahmad al-Sabah and Bahrain’s Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al-Khalifa.
Major US allies Saudi Arabia and the UAE, which is one of few Arab states to have normalised ties with Israel, have ruled out any displacement of Gaza Palestinians, saying peacemaking should envisage a Palestinian state co-existing with Israel.
