Egypt Daily News – Egypt will host the emergency Arab Summit on the developments of the Palestinian issue on March 4, 2025, in Cairo, as part of the ongoing preparations, both in terms of content and logistics, for the summit.
The new date was set after coordination with the Kingdom of Bahrain, the current chair of the Arab League Council at the summit level, and in consultation with the Arab countries.
The Assistant Secretary-General of the Arab League, Ambassador Hossam Zaki, had previously announced that “the emergency Arab summit, scheduled to be held in Egypt on February 27, may be postponed.”
Zaki attributed the possible delay to “logistical considerations related to the schedules of Arab leaders.”
In this regard, he confirmed in television statements that “Egypt’s desire to ensure the participation of as many leaders as possible to enhance the summit’s effectiveness is the main reason for any potential change in its date.”
Regarding the summit’s agenda, Zaki clarified that it aims to “unify the Arab stance on the Palestinian issue, especially in light of the Arab rejection of the displacement plan proposed by Israel and later adopted by the U.S. administration.”
He added that Egypt “will present a proposal focused on rebuilding the Gaza Strip through the efforts of the Palestinians themselves, ensuring the creation of local job opportunities without the need to displace residents outside the strip.”
He emphasized that the summit will issue an official document “reflecting this position, reaffirming support for the Palestinian people and strengthening their resilience.”
