From left, leaders of Bahrain (CP), Qatar, UAE, Saudi, Kuwait, Jordan, Egypt plus Jordanian CP and UAE NSA, met in Riyadh to discuss "Egyptian Plan for Gaza."

Plan not out yet, will likely be unveiled at Cairo Arab League Emergency Summit on March 4. Plan expected to promise enormous amount of Gulf money (up to $20 billion) to Gaza (Egypt will certainly get a cut and PA's Mahmoud Abbas will also get a bribe to buy him out of the plan).

The crux of the plan is this: In return for the enormous money to rebuild Gaza, both Hamas and Abbas will be out of Gaza. In their stead, a Palestinian governing body (the plan calls them technocrats), will be installed by the Arab League and put in charge of rebuilding Gaza, physically and politically. This body will oversee reconstruction and make sure to keep out two things: PA's corruption and Hamas's wars. Funders, after all, want to make sure that all the billions they will invest will not be stolen or not be destroyed in yet another round of war with Israel.

Who will be on the Gaza governing body to be anointed at the Arab League? Each of the leaders in the picture have Palestinians close to them. All of the leaders in the picture are on the same page (against Islamism and supportive of peace) except for Qatar (pro-Islamism and anti-peace - "resistance&quot . Qatar will likely get someone on the governing body, someone who is Islamist light, who is not Hamas but maybe Hamas likes him. Everyone is perhaps reasoning that Arab consensus is required to edge Hamas and PA.

President Trump's Gaza Plan jumpstarted this Arab Plan for the "day after" in Gaza and gave it good cover. It scared everyone into action, and gave urgency and legitimacy tp the Arab Plan as an alternative to the "plan to displace Palestinians." Between the two plans, both Hamas and Abbas will have to accept the Arab Plan even if they hate it.

But make no mistake, both Hamas and Abbas will do all they can to derail the Arab Plan and take over once they deem enough of Gaza had been reconstructed.
