Egypt to host emergency Arab summit on Palestinians: FM
Egypt’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs says Arab countries will gather in the Arab country for an emergency summit in order to discuss the issue of Palestine.
The ministry announced on Sunday that the summit will be held on February 27 and its aim will be the ongoing issues of Palestine and its people.
In a statement, the ministry reported that the summit will be convened in coordination with the Kingdom of Bahrain, the current president of the Arab League summit, and the General Secretariat of the Arab League.
The decision to hold the summit came "after consultations and coordination by Egypt at the highest levels with brotherly Arab countries in recent days, including the State of Palestine, which requested the summit, in order to address the latest and critical developments regarding the Palestinian cause," the statement said.
The Arab countries will mainly discuss the threat of relocating the people of Palestine to other countries, as suggested by the US and Israel.
On Thursday, the Israeli regime’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu suggested that Palestinians should establish their state in Saudi Arabia, dismissing any notion of Palestinian sovereignty.
“The Saudis can create a Palestinian state in Saudi Arabia; they have a lot of land over there,”
Also on Feb. 4, US President Donald Trump said Washington would “take over” Gaza and resettle Palestinians elsewhere. He claimed he could turn the enclave into “the Riviera of the Middle East.”
The idea of a so-called “voluntary migration” of the people of Palestine was first promoted during the Biden administration by far-right Israeli ministers.
The international community, especially the Arab nations, has categorically rejected the idea of relocating the Palestinian people to a third country and instead has declared its full support for the two-state solution.
On January 15, the Israeli regime, failing to achieve any of its war objectives including the “elimination” of Hamas or the release of captives, was forced to agree to a ceasefire deal with the Palestinian resistance movements.
