For now, the cease-fire deal between Hamas and the Israeli government appears to be holding, but Donald Trump’s proposal for the ethnic cleansing of Gaza has been the main focus of discussion for the past few weeks.

Earlier this month, the president said he favored taking control of Gaza and displacing the Palestinian population of the devastated seaside enclave. But Egypt and Jordan flatly rejected cooperating.

But Arab states have yet to tackle critical issues like who will foot the bill for Gaza's reconstruction or how the Strip will be governed.
