Muslim nations meet on Arab alternative to Trump Gaza plan
7 March 2025 11:12 GMT
The Muslim world will be asked to throw its weight behind an Arab counter-plan to US President Donald Trump's widely condemned proposal to take over Gaza at an emergency meeting on Friday.
Foreign ministers from the 57-member Organisation for Islamic Cooperation (OIC) will meet at its headquarters in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, three days after the Arab League endorsed Egypt's alternative plan for Gaza.
At Tuesday's summit in Cairo, Arab leaders backed the proposal to rebuild the Gaza Strip under the future administration of the Palestinian Authority.
However, the plan, which does not outline a role for Hamas, which controls Gaza, was rejected by both the United States and Israel.
