JAKARTA - The extraordinary meeting (KTT) of the Arab League in the discussion of Gaza which was originally set for next week was postponed until March 4.

Citing AFP, Wednesday, February 19, the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Kemenlu) as the host at the meeting said the new date had been approved by members of the Arab League as part of the "substantive and logistical preparations" for the summit.

This extraordinary Arab League meeting was held in response to President of the United States (US) Donald Trump's plan to take over Gaza and move Palestinian citizens in the region to other countries, including Egypt and Jordan.

On Thursday last week, Saudi Arabia hosted a meeting for Egyptian, Jordanian, Qatar, and United Arab Emirates leaders.

A number of these countries conveyed plans to carry out the reconstruction of Gaza while ensuring Palestinians were not moved to remain on their lands.

Trump's plan to unilaterally take over Gaza sparked protests around the Arab world. The protests prompted the birth of rare unity protests among Arab countries to block the plan.
