An unexpected invitation and a sudden postponement... What is happening behind the scenes of the Arab summit?

In a notable move, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi officially invited the transitional Syrian President Ahmed al-Shara to participate in the upcoming emergency Arab summit in Cairo on March 4th. The summit will focus on the developments in the Gaza Strip following the controversial plan proposed by US President Donald Trump regarding the region. A statement from the Syrian presidency confirmed on Sunday that Shara had received the official invitation, coinciding with the announcement by the Egyptian Foreign Ministry to postpone the summit, originally scheduled for the next week, to March 4th, citing the need for "thorough logistical preparations." Ambassador Hossam Zaki, Assistant Secretary-General of the Arab League, emphasized that Egypt ensured the participation of a larger number of Arab leaders to ensure the summit's success, clarifying that the postponement was purely for logistical reasons. The anticipated Arab summit will address unifying the Arab stance on the Palestinian issue, amidst Arab countries' rejection of the US-backed Israeli plan aimed at displacing Palestinians from the Gaza Strip. In a strategic move, Egypt will propose a plan focusing on the reconstruction of Gaza through pure Palestinian efforts, aiming to create job opportunities within the region and prevent any attempts to displace its residents. Cairo repeatedly asserts that Palestinians reject all scenarios presented by Israel, whether direct control over Gaza, imposing new authority on the region, or forcing residents to leave. As the summit approaches, political circles are anticipating the Arab leaders' stance amid escalating regional challenges and increasing international pressures. Will the summit succeed in charting a new course for the Palestinian issue? This is what we will find out in the coming days.
