President Donald Trump’s suggestion that the US government take over a depopulated Gaza Strip and turn it into a holiday resort was met with alarm in neighboring Arab countries.

CAIRO (AP) — Arab leaders on Tuesday endorsed Egypt’s postwar plan for the Gaza Strip that would allow its roughly 2 million Palestinians to remain, in a counterproposal to U.S. President Donald Trump’s plan to depopulate the territory and redevelop it as a beach destination.

Arab League states approved an Egyptian proposal for a phased reconstruction plan that would keep Palestinians in Gaza while excluding Hamas from governing.
