US Secretary of State Marco Rubio's visit to Saudi Arabia marks the beginning of crucial talks surrounding Donald Trump's contentious plans for Palestinians. While during his visit Rubio is expected to meet with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), some tensions arise from Trump's proposal to transfer large numbers of Palestinians out of Gaza and the West Bank. This proposal has faced sharp criticism for its implications. Saudi Arabia, aiming to unify Arab nations, strongly opposes such resettlement plans and insists on a viable Palestinian state before considering normalization with Israel.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that his government cooperates closely with the US on Trump's proposal for Gaza, aimed at reimagining the region's development.
