ARAB states will meet in Riyadh today to discuss joint opposition to US President Donald Trump’s plan to expel all Palestinians from Gaza.

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman invited the Gulf states, Egypt and Jordan to the informal meeting, which will lay the groundwork for an emergency Arab League summit in Egypt on March 4.

Israel is beginning negotiations on a second phase of the Gaza ceasefire this week, but its army has escalated violence in the West Bank, with Palestinian authorities reporting it had killed three people in a house in the Far’a refugee camp on Wednesday. Its troops also shot one man dead in Gaza City, claiming he had posed an “immediate threat.”
