Arab nations met for a summit in Cairo, Egypt, on Tuesday with the goal of developing a counterproposal to Trump's Gaza plan, aiming to rebuild without displacing residents.

An Arab summit convened in Cairo on Tuesday adopted an Egyptian plan for the reconstruction of Gaza, Egypt's President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said during a closing statement. The plan aims to counter President Donald Trump's proposals for a "Middle East Riviera" by presenting a scheme for rebuilding the devastated strip without displacing its population.
