Trump to Hold High-Level Talks with Muslim-Majority Nations on Gaza’s Future

Washington: U.S. President Donald Trump will meet with top officials from several Muslim-majority countries this week to address the escalating crisis in Gaza and to discuss pathways for long-term stability in the region. The White House confirmed that leaders and representatives from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, Indonesia, and Pakistan are expected to take part in the talks.

The central focus of the meeting will be the governance of Gaza once the guns fall silent. Trump is expected to reiterate Washington’s vision of an Israeli withdrawal from the territory and the establishment of an administrative framework that excludes Hamas. According to U.S. officials, the president will emphasize the need for a leadership structure capable of maintaining peace, ensuring humanitarian aid, and preventing a resurgence of violence.

Another pressing issue on the table will be the fate of hostages still held amid the conflict. Trump plans to press Muslim leaders for cooperation in diplomatic and security channels to help secure their release. At the same time, discussions will cover humanitarian relief for civilians trapped in Gaza, many of whom have endured nearly two years of war marked by widespread destruction and shortages of basic necessities.

One of the proposals expected to be raised involves Arab and Muslim nations contributing troops or security personnel to stabilize Gaza during and after Israel’s withdrawal. While such an initiative carries political sensitivities, it reflects a growing consensus that regional actors must take a direct role in guaranteeing security and rebuilding efforts. Trump is also likely to seek financial commitments from wealthy Gulf states to fund reconstruction and support governance initiatives.

The planned meeting follows a significant diplomatic milestone at the United Nations, where dozens of countries formally recognized a Palestinian state. That recognition, occurring in the shadow of Gaza’s devastation, has added urgency to international deliberations and underscored the high stakes for both Washington and regional capitals.

Trump’s outreach to Muslim-majority nations signals an effort to broaden the coalition addressing the Gaza crisis and to position the United States as a central broker in shaping the territory’s post-war order. How far these talks can move toward consensus, however, remains an open question as divisions persist among key players.
