A mini-Arab meeting to discuss ways to mobilize funding for the Gaza reconstruction plan.

The foreign ministers of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Qatar, along with the UAE Minister of State for Foreign Affairs and the Secretary-General of the Palestine Liberation Organization's Executive Committee, held a mini-meeting in Doha on Wednesday.


The Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement that the meeting addressed ways to coordinate the Arab position and discussed the outcomes of the extraordinary Arab summit held in Cairo, as well as the extraordinary meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation in Jeddah, where the focus was on supporting the Palestinian people.


The statement added that the meeting discussed "ways to promote and mobilize funding for the Arab-Islamic reconstruction plan for early recovery and reconstruction of the Gaza Strip," while emphasizing Egypt's hosting of the international reconstruction conference in cooperation with the United Nations and the Palestinian government, with the attendance of donor countries and agencies.


The meeting also addressed the current situation between Hamas and Israel, with Qatar and Egypt, along with the United States, mediating a ceasefire between the two sides and facilitating the release of hostages held in Gaza since October 7, 2023, in exchange for the release of Palestinians in the occupying state.


In a related context, the member states of the Arab League adopted a plan to rebuild the Gaza Strip on March 4, 2025, at a cost of up to $53 billion, without displacing the population.


This plan came in response to former US President Donald Trump's proposal to displace Palestinians from Gaza and resettle them in Jordan and Egypt. Cairo and Amman strongly rejected the proposal, considering it a threat to regional stability.
