Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi reportedly will not attend White House discussions if they include US President Donald Trump’s controversial proposal concerning Gaza. Trump’s plan, which envisions relocating Gaza’s roughly two million residents to Egypt and Jordan while transforming the enclave into the “Riviera of the Middle East,” has provoked significant criticism among Arab nations. Egypt noted that Trump had previously extended an invitation to el-Sisi, though no date has been set. Similarly, Jordan’s King Abdullah II recently dismissed the idea of displacing Gazans. Trump’s plan has faced criticism from leaders all over the world, including the Arab states. The UN’s investigator on human rights in Palestine has also condemned the plan, stating that it amounts to “ethnic cleansing.” This unfolding situation highlights deep regional opposition to Trump’s proposal and underscores the complexities surrounding Middle East diplomacy.
