The Arab summit, initially scheduled for Thursday in Riyadh, involving five Arab countries including Egypt and Jordan, to address U.S. President Donald Trump’s plan for Gaza, has been postponed to Friday. The summit has also been expanded to include all six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states, according to Arab diplomats[5].
A Saudi official, speaking anonymously, stated that the “Arab mini-summit” will be held on February 21 instead of the initially planned February 20, noting that it will bring together the leaders of the six GCC member states, as well as Egypt and Jordan, to discuss Arab alternatives to Trump’s projects for Gaza.
Another diplomat confirmed the postponement to February 21. Sources indicate that an “influential Gulf state” expressed discontent after being excluded from the Riyadh summit, prompting organizers to include all Gulf states
The former real estate developer, President Trump, proposed placing the Gaza Strip under U.S. control and transforming it into a “Middle East Riviera,” displacing its 2.4 million residents mainly to neighboring Jordan and Egypt.
Arab countries have unanimously rejected this project and any prospect of displacing Palestinians from their lands. In this context, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated on Thursday that the United States is open to proposals from Arab countries regarding the fate of the Palestinian territories, where a truce between Israel and Hamas has been in effect since January 19, following 15 months of war.
Rubio hoped to discuss these ideas during a tour that included Israel on Sunday, Saudi Arabia on Monday, as well as the United Arab Emirates. King Abdullah II of Jordan was also received at the White House last week.
In a direct warning, Trump mentioned he might halt U.S. aid to Jordan and Egypt if these two Washington-allied countries refused to receive Palestinians.
