King participates in meeting with Trump to discuss ending Gaza war
His Majesty King Abdullah II will participate today, Tuesday, in a meeting in New York with US President Donald Trump and several other Arab and Muslim leaders.
The meeting is taking place on the sidelines of the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly, and will focus on regional developments, particularly the situation in the Gaza Strip.
President Trump will present a group of Arab and Muslim leaders on Tuesday with principles for peace and post-war governance in Gaza, according to two U.S. officials and two Arab officials.
Leaders and senior officials from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, Indonesia, and Pakistan will participate in the meeting.
In addition to freeing the hostages and ending the war, Trump is expected to discuss principles around an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza post-war governance in Gaza, without Hamas involvement.
The U.S. also wants Arab and Muslim countries to agree to send military forces to Gaza to enable Israel's withdrawal and to secure Arab and Muslim funding for the transition period and for rebuilding the enclave.
'Tomorrow's meeting could be fairly significant. We have a pretty good idea of the contours for ending the war. We want to present what we think is the only viable path forward and we want regional buy-in and support to make it successful,' a U.S. official said.
'Our understanding is that Trump wants to get our feedback and support for the U.S. plan to end the war and then push it forward,' one Arab official said.
The Arab and U.S. officials insisted this would be a U.S. plan, not merely an Israeli plan presented by the Trump administration.
