Cairo: Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi is heading to Saudi Arabia, state TV reported on Thursday, and is expected to discuss Gaza developments while there. Arab states plan to discuss a post-war plan for Gaza reconstruction, possibly to counter US President Donald Trump's proposal to redevelop the strip under US control.
According to National News Agency - Lebanon, the visit by President al-Sisi comes at a time when regional leaders are seeking a collaborative approach to address the ongoing situation in Gaza. The discussions are expected to focus on strategies for rebuilding and stabilizing the region after the conflict, with a particular emphasis on maintaining regional autonomy over the reconstruction efforts. The potential for US-led redevelopment under President Trump's proposal is also likely to be a significant point of consideration.
The meetings in Saudi Arabia are anticipated to bring together key Arab states in an effort to formulate a unified response and plan of action for Gaza's future. The outcomes of these discussions could significantly influence the geopolitical landscape of the Middle East, particularly in terms of international involvement and investment in Gaza's reconstruction.
