CAIRO/JERUSALEM (Worthy News) – In a warning to Israel, Egypt announced Sunday that it would host “an emergency Arab summit” this month to discuss what it called “serious” developments for Palestinians.
The Egyptian foreign ministry confirmed Sunday that the gathering would happen on February 27.
Analysts say the summit comes amid tensions over U.S. President Donald J. Trump’s suggestion to “take over the Gaza Strip” from Israel and create a “Riviera of the Middle East” after resettling Palestinians elsewhere.
Trump made clear, however, that Palestinians could return when houses are rebuilt.
The president also said Sunday that he is committed to buying and owning Gaza but could allow sections of the war-ravaged land to be rebuilt by other states in the Middle East.
“I’m committed to buying and owning Gaza. As far as rebuilding it, we may give it to other states in the Middle East to build sections of it; other people may do it through our auspices. But we’re committed to owning it, taking it, and making sure that Hamas doesn’t move back,” Trump stressed.
Hamas sparked the war by entering Israel on October 7, 2023, killing some 1,200 people, including babies and raped women, while abducting about 250 others.
The Hamas-run authorities claim nearly 48,000 Palestinians were killed without differentiating between combatants and ordinary citizens.
Israel says it killed some 20,000 “Hamas terrorists,” about half of the group’s total fighters.
