On February 20, a meeting of leaders of five Arab countries will be held in Riyadh to discuss a response against US president Donald Trump on the Gaza Strip, before the response is presented on February 27 at a planned Arab summit in Egypt, a Saudi source told Agence France-Presse.

The Sunni kingdom is leading efforts by Arab countries to draw up a plan for Gaza’s future in response to the US president’s ambitions to turn the Palestinian enclave into a “Middle East Riviera.”

The source said leaders from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Jordan, and the Palestinian Authority “are invited to examine Trump’s plan in depth and prepare an Arab response. “

The meeting in Riyadh will underline the rejection of a “displacement of the residents of the Gaza Strip” and their “transfer” out of that territory, according to the same source.

The source, who asked not to be named, stressed that PA President Mahmoud Abbas or PA Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa will attend the Riyadh meeting.
