Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and the UAE have warned President Trump that his post-war Gaza plan is at risk of collapse.
The Gulf countries told the White House they will not participate in or fund Gaza’s reconstruction as long as Hamas retains control and does not disarm.
They also blamed the Turkey–Qatar–Egypt axis for failing as mediators in disarming Hamas and other factions.

Trump Gaza plan on verge of collapse, warns Saudi Arabia and UAE
Arab and American sources have confirmed that the Sunni axis, which also includes Bahrain, has warned the White House that the Trump Gaza plan is in danger of falling apart. “As long as Hamas retains its weapons, we will not continue with the process,” the message states.

Due to what they describe as the mediators’ leniency regarding Hamas’ refusal to disarm, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain have issued warnings that the effort to end the war is at risk of collapsing. Arab and US diplomatic sources confirmed to Israel Hayom that messages to this effect were sent by the Gulf states of the moderate Sunni axis to the White House and to the architects of the Gaza plan, President Donald Trump’s envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.
The warnings focus on Hamas’ conduct since the ceasefire began, including the systematic assassination of rivals from competing clans, armed displays in the streets, extortion of local merchants, and statements by senior officials flatly rejecting the prospect of disarmament.
In their latest communication with Washington, the Saudis warned that unless there is a decisive US response and a change in approach by the mediators—Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey—to enforce the plan’s terms on Hamas, Saudi Arabia will not participate in the continuation of the process. A Saudi diplomatic source confirmed to Israel.

He added that it is “a resistance that has caused a catastrophe even worse than the Nakba. It is absolutely clear that Hamas will sabotage any force—Palestinian, Arab, or international—seeking to restore order in the Strip. As long as there is no serious move to eliminate Hamas’ influence and control over Gaza, there is no chance of its rehabilitation and reconstruction.”
In the messages sent to the US, it was explicitly stated that Saudi Arabia is downgrading its level of engagement in the implementation of the Trump plan, and that it is unlikely to attend the reconstruction conference Egypt plans to host next month.
The Emiratis have expressed a similar stance, but since they are already investing considerable resources in aiding Gaza’s displaced, their warnings are focused on areas under Hamas control. According to their messages, they will continue rebuilding efforts in the southern parts of the Strip where Israel maintains military control. However, they have made clear that they will not participate in reconstructing other areas unless a framework is in place for Hamas’ disarmament and for full civilian and security control by international forces, as outlined in the Trump plan.
