Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): Foreign Ministers from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, as well as the Secretary-General of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO EC), met in Doha, Qatar, to coordinate their positions on the Palestinian cause.
The Executive Committee of the PLO is the organization's highest executive body, chaired by President Mahmoud Abbas. The meeting follows the Arab states' endorsement of Egypt's reconstruction plan for the Strip and recent Cairo talks, where Hamas reaffirmed its commitment to a governance agreement for Gaza.
Officials discussed mechanisms for promoting and mobilizing funding for the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip, estimated to cost $53 billion. This comes as Egypt prepares for an international conference on Gaza's rebuilding, jointly with the United Nations and the Palestinian Authority (PA), aiming for April.
In the context of the high-level discussions in Doha, the Arab foreign ministers and the Secretary-General of the PLO EC met with United States special envoy Steve Witkoff.
The officials presented Witkoff with a reconstruction plan and agreed to continued coordination with Washington on the issue. The ministers emphasized the importance of establishing a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and occupied Palestinian territories, emphasizing the importance of achieving a comprehensive peace based on the "two-state solution".
