Deadline diplomacy: Trump’s Gaza ‘Riviera’ scheme mobilises the Arab world

Egypt and Jordan, suggested by Trump as potential destinations for displaced Palestinians, have rejected the idea of hosting millions of Gazan refugees, highlighting the impracticality and potential regional consequences of the proposal.
