US President Trump is preparing to convene a select group of Arab and Muslim leaders on Tuesday during the UN General Assembly in New York to discuss possible steps toward ending the Israeli war on Gaza, Axios reported, citing two Arab officials familiar with the plans.

The talks are set to take place just days before Trump hosts Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on September 29. The timing coincides with a wave of Western recognition of the State of Palestine and growing threats from "Israel" to usurp more Palestinian land in the occupied West Bank. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment, as per the report.

Invitations for Tuesday’s meeting, scheduled for 2:30 pm ET, have already been sent out, the Arab officials said as quoted by Axios. Leaders from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan, and Turkey were invited to attend.

According to the sources, the White House wants these countries to contribute to a post-war plan for Gaza, potentially including troop deployments as part of "a stabilization force to replace Israeli forces".

The Arab leaders, in turn, are expected to urge Trump to press Netanyahu to end the war on Gaza and to halt any plans for West Bank annexation. The UAE has warned the administration that annexation could jeopardize the normalization deals with "Israel".

On the same day, Trump is also expected to meet separately with leaders of several Gulf states, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, and Kuwait, the officials said.

A central concern will be "Israel’s" recent strike on Qatar, the first Israeli attack on a Gulf state. Arab officials say Gulf leaders will seek assurances from the Trump administration that such incidents will not be repeated.

Saudi warns 'Israel' annexation may derail Arab normalization: Reports 

In a related context, Saudi Arabia has reportedly sent a confidential message to “Israel” warning that any move to annex territory in the occupied West Bank, including the Jordan Valley, would shut the door on normalization with Arab states and could affect the so-called "Abraham Accords", according to a report aired Sunday by Channel 12.

The message, described as highly sensitive, also cautioned that annexation could prompt economic measures, “such as closing airspace,” the Israeli channel said.

Israeli public broadcaster Kan 11 quoted a source close to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as saying that “the issue of applying sovereignty in the Jordan Valley will be discussed with US President Donald Trump.”

Diplomatic sources cited by the channels said US Secretary of State Marco Rubio had given a “green light” to move forward during his recent visit, with a final decision expected after Netanyahu meets Trump.

Israeli Channel 12 also reported that senior European officials warned their Israeli counterparts that any attempt to annex land, especially amid growing recognition of a Palestinian state, “could destroy what has been built in the Middle East in terms of peace agreements.”

The reported Saudi warning comes as debate intensifies within the Israeli occupation over a long-standing plan to extend sovereignty to the Jordan Valley and parts of the West Bank, a proposal repeatedly floated by Netanyahu, particularly during election campaigns.
