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~

Trump, Putin Secret Deal? Putin Mocks Zelensky, Trump Blasts The 'Dictator', Sides With Russia [Video]

Trump, Putin Secret Deal? Putin Mocks Zelensky, Trump Blasts The 'Dictator', Sides With Russia

Trump, Putin Secret Deal? In a dramatic shift in global diplomacy, former U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin appear to have found common ground on the Ukraine war, effectively sidelining Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. During high-level talks in Saudi Arabia—held without Ukraine’s participation—Trump declared that Russia "holds the cards" in peace negotiations due to its territorial gains, further escalating tensions by labeling Zelensky a "dictator." Putin, in turn, mocked Zelensky’s outrage, dismissing it as "hysterical." #TrumpPutin #TrumpPutinDeal #TrumpMocksZelensky #PutinMocksZelensky #ZelenskyVsTrump #TrumpOnUkraine #PutinOnUkraine #TrumpPutinTalks #UkraineWar #TrumpRussia #PutinUkraine #TrumpVsZelensky #RussiaUkraineWar #TrumpPutinAlliance #ZelenskyUnderFire Also Read Trump Says It Will Be 'Very Unfair' To US If Musk Built Tesla Factory In India :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-says-it-will-be-very-unfair-to-us-if-musk-built-tesla-factory-in-india-4075903.html?ref=DMDesc Did US Govt Under Biden Try To Interfere In Indian Elections To Defeat PM Modi?
