Arab leaders gathered in Cairo are expected to back a counterproposal to U.S. President Donald Trump's controversial suggestion of depopulating Gaza and transforming it into a beach destination. The summit, hosted by Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, will include key regional players like Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, whose support is crucial for any postwar strategy.
Israel has embraced an alternative U.S. proposal for the ceasefire and the release of hostages taken in a recent Hamas attack. The country has restricted the entry of essential supplies into Gaza to pressure Hamas into accepting the new terms, sparking criticism from human rights groups.
