El-Sissi advocated for Gaza's reconstruction without displacing its residents, directly opposing US President Trump's controversial proposal to redevelop Gaza into a "Riviera of the Middle East" by relocating its Palestinian residents to other countries. Arab leaders, including those from Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, and UAE, planned to meet in Riyadh to discuss Trump's proposal, followed by an Arab League summit in Cairo.
