Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has invited the leaders of Gulf Arab countries, Egypt, and Jordan for a meeting in Riyadh on Friday, the Saudi state news agency SPA reported on Thursday.
Arab states have pledged to work on a post-war plan for the Gaza Strip's reconstruction to counter U.S. President Donald Trump's proposal to redevelop the enclave as an international beach resort after resettling its Palestinian inhabitants elsewhere.
Saudi Arabia said Friday's meeting would be unofficial and held within "the framework of the close brotherly relations that bring together the leaders", SPA said.
"As for joint Arab action and the decisions issued regarding it, it will be on the agenda of the upcoming emergency Arab summit that will be held in the sisterly Arab Republic of Egypt," SPA added, referring to plans for an emergency Arab summit on March 4 to discuss the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Trump has called for Egypt and Jordan to take in resettled Palestinians from Gaza, a suggestion they both rejected.

Saudi Arabia ordered an Iranian diplomat and three members of his team to leave the country Saturday, as the Kingdom continues to absorb Iranian missile strikes launched in retaliation for the US-Israeli military campaign against Tehran.
Around 59 people were wounded - most lightly - by Iranian missile strikes on Dimona in southern Israel, according to Israeli emergency services Magen David Adom, as reported by multiple Israeli media outlets.
Egypt has strongly condemned on Saturday the terrorist and sabotage plots targeting the security and stability of Gulf states, most recently the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait, following the successful dismantling of Hezbollah-linked networks in both countries.
