Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and Jordanian Crown Prince Hussein bin Abdullah II reaffirmed the urgent need to begin the reconstruction of Gaza while ensuring that Palestinians remain in their lands, during their meeting on Sunday. 

The Jordanian Crown Prince emphasized his country's support for Egypt’s efforts in formulating a comprehensive plan for Gaza’s reconstruction. He also highlighted Jordan’s backing of the emergency Arab summit, scheduled to be hosted by Egypt on February 27, stressing the importance of achieving a unified Arab stance on the Palestinian cause.

Egyptian presidential spokesperson Mohamed El-Shennawy stated that the talks covered developments in the occupied Palestinian territories, including Egypt’s efforts to solidify a ceasefire in Gaza, facilitate prisoner exchanges, and ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid. The discussions also extended to the situation in Syria.

Both leaders underscored the necessity of maintaining the ceasefire in Gaza and increasing humanitarian assistance to the enclave. They also warned of the dangers of escalating tensions in the West Bank and condemned attacks on Islamic and Christian holy sites in occupied al-Quds.

Regarding Syria, el-Sisi and Prince Hussein reiterated their commitment to Syria’s unity, stability, and territorial integrity, affirming continued coordination between Egypt and Jordan on the matter.

The US is pressuring Cairo to embrace President Donald Trump’s scheme for Gaza’s post-war future, including the forced displacement of Palestinians to Egypt, according to Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, as reported by the Times of Israel.

Quoting Egyptian sources in Washington, the London-based outlet claims that the Pentagon has cautioned Egyptian military officials about potential restrictions on military aid if Cairo refuses to comply with Trump’s plan.  

Specifically, the sources indicate that essential supplies for routine maintenance and spare weapons parts could be at risk.

Egypt, on the other hand, has launched an intensive diplomatic push to rally support for an Arab-led initiative to rebuild the Gaza Strip, prioritizing practical solutions over political concerns to counter a widely unpopular plan from US President Donald Trump.

Trump’s proposal—to have the US "take control of Gaza, redevelop it as an international destination, and relocate its Palestinian residents"—has upended regional dynamics surrounding the 16-month Israeli war on the Strip.

For Egypt, the stakes are especially high, according to The Wall Street Journal. Trump has repeatedly suggested sending Gazans to Egypt, despite Cairo’s firm opposition. When asked where Palestinians would go, Trump responded, "I believe we’ll have a parcel of land in Egypt."

Egypt’s proposal, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing sources familiar with the matter, aims to keep Palestinians in Gaza and establish a technocratic administration drawn from within the enclave. Security would be provided by Palestinians trained by Arab forces. Cairo is also seeking funding commitments from regional partners and plans to host a donor conference.

Trump has invited Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi to the White House, but Egyptian officials say no visit has been scheduled. El-Sisi remains cautious about the optics of meeting Trump amid heightened tensions over the Gaza issue.
