Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi said that Arab leaders have endorsed Egypt’s post-war plan for the Gaza Strip that would allow its two million Palestinians to remain in the territory.

Meeting in Cairo on Tuesday, the leaders endorsed a counter-proposal to President Donald Trump’s plan to depopulate the territory and redevelop it as a beach destination.

It was unclear if Israel or the United States would accept the Egyptian plan.
