Egypt, which has a border with the Gaza Strip, claims to have developed a detailed plan for the reconstruction of the Palestinian area after the war, with Palestinians remaining in place. This is announced by the country's Foreign Ministry after Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty visited Washington DC.

In a meeting with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Abdelatty is said to have emphasized that Palestinians should be allowed to stay in Gaza and that this has full support from a united Arab world, "as well as within the international community". No details were provided from Rubio's side about what was said during the meeting.

Egypt, along with Jordan, is under heavy pressure from Donald Trump. The US President demands that the countries take in the Gaza Strip's inhabitants if and when the US takes control of the area and forces them out. This would not be well received by the Arab countries' populations, but the US also has large financial flows that Trump can use as leverage.

Trump's radical plan has sparked anger and concern, not least among Palestinians in Gaza, but many analysts see it as one example of the President's aggressive negotiating strategy.

After the Egyptian Foreign Minister's visit to Marco Rubio, Jordan's King Abdullah arrived at the White House, where he met with Donald Trump. Trump stuck to his plan, and the Jordanian king stood firm in his view, but said he was willing to receive cancer-stricken Palestinian children.

Egypt is hosting an emergency summit with Arab countries on February 27, where they will discuss the "new and dangerous development" in the region.
