Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi is expected to travel to Riyadh on Thursday for discussions on an Arab plan for Gaza, two Egyptian security sources say.

Arab states are expected to discuss a postwar plan for Gaza reconstruction, possibly to counter US President Donald Trump’s proposal to redevelop the Strip under US control.

The summit, however, has been postponed until March 4, Egypt’s foreign ministry says.
