Arab leaders have endorsed an Egyptian plan for the reconstruction of Gaza, countering an Israeli-backed proposal by US President Donald Trump.

The announcement came at an emergency meeting in Cairo.

The five-year plan will cost around 53 billion dollars and, unlike Trump's proposal, enables Palestinians to remain in the strip.

Egypt will ask Muslim nations for their support at a meeting in Saudi Arabia on Friday.

Al Jazeera’s Mohammed Jamjoom reports.
