Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman says Riyadh will “definitely help” foot the bill for the reconstruction of Gaza.

MBS says an exact figure hasn’t been decided yet, leading US President Donald Trump to chime in and say, “It’ll be a lot.”

In a separate remark during the question-and-answer session at the Oval Office, Trump says, “The Palestinians are doing very well… We’re working very closely with a lot of people that make everybody happy, including Israel, the Palestinians and everybody.”
