| diplomaticbriefing February 17 | Senior U.S., Arab and European officials met in Munich to discus progress on formulating a plan for post-war Gaza that would be linked to normalizing ties between Israel and Saudi Arabia, officials and diplomats said. U.S Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan and the foreign ministers of Jordan, Qatar, Germany, Britain, France and Italy were among those gathering on the sidelines of the annual Munich Security Conference. Officials said the meeting was the first in such a format since war broke out on Oct. 7 when Palestinian Islamist militant group Hamas attacked Israel. The aim was for the U.S., European and Arab states to share discussions they have had on post-war Gaza, Israel-Saudi normalisation, Israel's wider integration into the region and security guarantees, a pathway towards a Palestinian state and how to reform the Palestinian Authority, a senior U.S. official said.
