US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated on Thursday that the United States is open to hearing new proposals from Arab nations regarding Gaza, following President Donald Trump’s plan to relocate the population of the territory, which has caused uproar among Arab countries.
Rubio, who is set to depart for a trip across the Middle East, including a stop in Israel, expressed his intention to explore potential solutions during the trip, which will include visits to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

So if they've got a better plan, now's the time to present it," he told conservative radio hosts Clay Travis and Buck Sexton, as quoted by AFP."
