Saudi to host leaders of UAE, Egypt & Jordan to discuss Trump’s Gaza takeover plan

RIYADH: Saudi Arabia will host leaders of four Arab countries at a summit on Feb 20 to discuss President Trump’s proposal for a US takeover of Gaza, a source with knowledge of the preparations said Friday.
Leaders of Egypt, Jordan, Qatar and the UAE will attend the summit, which will take place ahead of an Arab League meeting in Cairo on Feb 27 on the same issue, the source said. Speaking on the condition of anonymity, another source said President of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmud Abbas, would also attend.
Trump sparked a global outcry with his proposal for the US to take over the Gaza Strip and to move more than two million Palestinians out of the territory, citing Egypt or Jordan as possible destinations. Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has since suggested Saudi Arabia could also host Palestinians, in remarks that drew condemnation from the Arab world, but which Israeli media said was a joke.
Arab countries have come together in a rare united front, outraged by the idea of moving Palestinians en masse.
