Trump’s Gaza ‘Riviera’ Plan Sparks Massive Arab Summit; Egypt, Gulf Nations To Counter Gaza's Plan

Trump’s Gaza ‘Riviera’ Plan has sparked massive outrage in the Muslim World. U.S. President Donald Trump’s controversial plan to turn Gaza into a Middle Eastern ‘Riviera’ has triggered a major Arab summit in Saudi Arabia. Leaders from Egypt, Jordan, the UAE, Qatar, and other Gulf nations are gathering to discuss a unified response to the proposal, which involves expelling Gaza’s Palestinian population. While Cairo has proposed an alternative reconstruction plan, divisions remain over who should govern Gaza post-war. As regional tensions escalate, the summit is expected to shape the future of Gaza and broader Middle East geopolitics. #TrumpGazaPlan #GazaRiviera #TrumpMiddleEast #GazaCleanOut #TrumpGazaPolicy #ArabSummit #PalestinianCrisis #MiddleEastConflict #GazaCrisis #TrumpIsrael #HamasConflict #GazaWar #TrumpForeignPolicy #IsraelHamasWar #Geopolitics ~HT.318~ED.346~PR.152~GR.124~

Houthis Threaten Big Attack Over Trump's Gaza Cleanout Plan | 'Worried About Jews? Move Them To U.S'

Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi has issued a stark warning against U.S. President Donald Trump’s plan to relocate Palestinians from Gaza, calling it a "criminal" scheme to empty Palestine. In a fiery speech, he threatened military intervention, including missile and drone strikes, if the plan is enforced by force.
