The United States appealed to Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Morocco to take part in a peacekeeping force on the "day after" in Gaza and they expressed support in principle, but demanded in return that Washington recognize a Palestinian state, the London-based Financial Times reported.
It also reported that Saudi Arabia refused the initiative, fearing that it would be seen as "a collaborator with Israel."
As global tensions remain high and the Gaza conflict continues unabated, France and Saudi Arabia are preparing to co-host a long-postponed international ministerial conference on the future of a Palestinian state.
At least 20 Palestinians were killed on Wednesday at an aid distribution site run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, in what the U.S.-backed group said was a crowd surge instigated by armed agitators.
U.S. President Donald Trump will meet with Qatar's Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani on Wednesday to discuss negotiations over a Gaza ceasefire deal, Axios reporter Barak Ravid posted on X.
