Arab leaders convene in Cairo to discuss a reconstruction plan for war-torn Gaza to counter US President Donald Trump’s proposal to take over the territory and relocate its inhabitants.
Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi and King Hamad of Bahrain, the current chair of the Arab League, give opening remarks at the start of the summit.
Sissi says he is certain that Trump will be able to achieve peace on what he refers to as the Palestinian issue.
Speaking during the extraordinary summit, he says Egypt will be hosting a conference for Gaza reconstruction next month.
