Now, what we heard from King Abdullah is that there was an Egyptian proposal kind of in the works that they were going to meet in Riyadh under the sponsorship of the Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and formulate this proposition, which they would then discuss with the Americans. So I think that's where the Arab countries are at.

But this feels like a very sort of quick and putting together at the last minute to desperately try and counter out what Mr. Trump is proposing.

There's been a series of meetings, actually, as Benjamin Netanyahu has been with senior White House officials, including Mike Waltz, the national security adviser. We've also had the press briefing here in the White House. I was sitting inside as Caroline Levitt updated the press on

The details of Mr Trump's plan, although I have to say we didn't really learn anything new, but one of the striking things was, astride her she had two big screens where she repeatedly displayed images of the destruction, widespread destruction inside Gaza.

Now there will be a very specific irony there felt by Palestinians and rights groups who have repeatedly used such images to show that in their view the destruction by Israel was in breach of international law has gone way beyond its military objectives. And this, of course, is being carried out using American munitions in the vast majority of cases.

Now, those images are being used by the Americans themselves as part of a sort of justification for why they say or Mr. Trump says Palestinians should leave Gaza. And, you know, he will rebuild it, as he says, for people of the world, as he puts it, over a period of 15 years. So one of the issues that came up, and I pressed Caroline Levitt.

This question was asked repeatedly, particularly by the American journalists in the room, because Donald Trump was asked that question and said that basically he was not ruling anything out, that they would do whatever was necessary in terms of the use of US forces to take over Gaza, as he put it. Now, the reason that is...

such a an important issue is because remember donald trump campaigned to become president on a promise of ending so-called forever wars foreign entanglements an america first foreign policy now caroline levitt said that you know nothing was ruled out sort of echoing president trump's words, but that they're not committing to the use of American forces.

And one of the reasons for that is even some Republican allies of Mr. Trump on Capitol Hill have questioned the plan, even criticized it because of that very element. They don't want to see American boots on the ground. So that in itself causing problems for Mr. Trump with his own party when it comes to his Gaza plan.

We already had a diplomatic standoff here between the US and the Panamanian government, and after that two-hour meeting between Mr Rubio and Mr Molino, it only seems to have escalated. A statement that was put out by the State Department directly after or shortly after the meeting, not mincing its words, and we've had Mr Rubio now saying that... The U.S.
