Arab Leaders Met In Saudi Arabia To Discuss Palestinian Issue, Gaza Developments

(MENAFN- Nam News Network) RIYADH, Feb 22 (NNN-SPA) – Leaders of Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar, Kuwait, and Bahrain, met in Saudi Arabia's capital, Riyadh, yesterday, to discuss the Palestinian issue and the developments in the Gaza Strip.

While the report described the gathering as a“consultative brotherly meeting,” without providing details, media reports suggested that the discussions were meant to focus on Gaza's post-war reconstruction, to counter a recent proposal by U.S. President Trump, to relocate Palestinians from the enclave and turn it into the“Riviera of the Middle East,” a plan widely rejected by all the Arab nations.

The meeting is at the invitation of Saudi Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, and attended by Jordanian King Abdullah II, Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi, UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Bahraini Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, and Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Mishal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah.

During the meeting, the leaders also expressed their support for the upcoming emergency Arab League summit, scheduled to take place in Cairo on Mar 4, to address the latest Palestinian developments.– NNN-SPA
