Trump to Meet Soon with Saudi and Egyptian Leaders

Washington, February 10: Israeli President Isaac Herzog said on Sunday that U.S. President Donald Trump is set to meet with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and possibly Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, though he did not specify dates for the talks.

In an interview with Fox News' Maria Bartiromo, he made these comments in response to a question about Trump's recently announced plan to reclaim and redevelop the Gaza Strip. Herzog did not provide any details on when or where the meetings would take place, nor did he mention their potential content. However, he noted that Trump is set to meet with Jordan's King Abdullah in the coming days, as already reported by Jordan's state news agency.

Herzog said, "President Trump is set to meet with major Arab leaders, first and foremost the King of Jordan and the President of Egypt, and I think the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia will also join." He further stated, "These are partners who must be listened to. We must respect their feelings and engage in discussions to create a sustainable plan for the future."

Saudi Arabia has outright rejected Trump's Gaza plan, as have many other world leaders. According to a previous report by Reuters, Jordan's King Abdullah plans to tell Trump during their planned February 11 meeting that the proposal is a strategy for spreading instability in the Middle East and poses a threat to Jordan's peace process with Israel.
