Arab summit adopts Egyptian plan for Gaza

An Arab summit draft communique adopted an Egyptian plan for Gaza’s future.

The summit called on the international community and financial institutions to provide support for the plan quickly.

An Arab plan for Gaza would counter US President Donald Trump’s ambition for a Middle East Riviera in the enclave.

Trump enraged the Arab world by declaring unexpectedly that the United States would take over Gaza, resettle its over 2-million Palestinian population and develop it into the “Riviera of the Middle East.”
