The Arab League revealed, on Saturday evening, that contacts are currently underway to hold an Arab summit to discuss the Palestinian issue.

This came according to what was stated by the Assistant Secretary-General of the League of Arab States, Ambassador Hossam Zaki, during a telephone interview on the Egyptian "Cairo News" channel, the day after Bahrain announced its support for the proposal to hold an emergency Arab summit in Cairo in rejection of the displacement of Palestinians.

Zaki explained that "there are current contacts to hold an Arab summit to discuss the Palestinian issue, but the date has not been set yet."

He pointed out that the Arab League's moves aim to "confront Israel's allegations and affirm the principle of the two-state solution."

He stressed that "the Arab position is cohesive and everyone stands behind the Palestinians, Egypt and Jordan in rejecting the issue of displacement."

On Friday, Bahraini Foreign Minister Abdullatif Al Zayani told his country's official news agency that Manama supports a proposal to hold an emergency Arab summit in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, days after US President Donald Trump revealed a plan to seize the Gaza Strip and displace Palestinians from it.

As the current chair of the Arab Summit after hosting it in May 2024, Bahrain has the right to call for other emergency summits in agreement with the rest of the member states of the Arab League, according to the Anadolu Agency correspondent.

Last Tuesday, Trump revealed in a press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House that his country intends to seize Gaza after displacing Palestinians from the Strip to other countries, before announcing on Friday that he was “in no hurry” regarding the plan amid a flood of angry international reactions.

Since January 25, Trump has been promoting a plan to transfer the Palestinians of Gaza to neighboring countries such as Egypt and Jordan, which was rejected by both countries, and was joined by other Arab countries and regional and international organizations.

In line with Trump's plan, Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz ordered his country's army to prepare a plan to displace Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.

On January 19, a ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip and a prisoner exchange between Hamas and Israel came into effect. It includes three stages, each lasting 42 days. During the first, negotiations will be held to start the second and third, with the mediation of Egypt and Qatar and the support of the United States.
