Arab leaders met in Riyadh yesterday to craft a plan for Gaza's post-war reconstruction to counter Donald Trump's proposal for the United States to take over the territory without its Palestinian inhabitants.

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi's office said he had left the Saudi capital after the meeting with the leaders of Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

A Saudi source had earlier told AFP that the Palestinian Authority, Hamas's West Bank-based rival, was also expected to take part in the talks.

The official Saudi Press Agency said the decisions taken at the "unofficial fraternal meeting" would be put on the agenda of an emergency Arab League summit to be held in Egypt on March 4.
