Egypt will host an emergency Arab summit on February 27 to address significant developments concerning Palestinians, according to the Egyptian Foreign Ministry.
The summit arises in the wake of widespread regional and global backlash against US President Donald Trump's proposal to take over the Gaza Strip and establish a \"Riviera of the Middle East\" by resettling Palestinians elsewhere.
Trump's plan has not only drawn condemnation but also threatened the fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, potentially undermining negotiations aimed at ending the 15-month-long conflict.
The emergency summit follows anticipated discussions between senior officials from the new Trump administration and Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty, who traveled to Washington on Sunday.
The visit aims to strengthen bilateral relations and strategic partnership between Egypt and the United States, including consultations on regional developments, the ministry stated.
