Saudi Minister of Foreign Affairs, Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah, participated on Monday in a ministerial meeting on the Reconstruction Plan in Gaza, during which Egypt vowed to host a conference when a ceasefire is reached in the war-torn enclave.

The meeting took place on the sidelines of the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly.

Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly said that his country would host a Gaza reconstruction conference as soon as a ceasefire had been reached in the devastated territory, AFP said.

"Egypt will, as soon as we reach a ceasefire, host an international reconstruction conference on the Gaza Strip to mobilize the necessary funding for the Arab-Islamic reconstruction plan," he said at a conference on the two-state solution at the United Nations.

During the meeting, participants stressed the need to prevent displacement of Palestinians under any pretext and warned against any actions of annexation or settlement expansion.

The meeting emphasized that an immediate end to the war is necessary to begin implementing the comprehensive Arab-Islamic plan for rebuilding the Gaza Strip.

Deputy Governor of the Makkah Region Prince Saud bin Mishaal bin Abdulaziz inspected the readiness of the Grand Mosque and its facilities, conducting a field tour to review operational and service preparations for receiving worshippers and Umrah performers during the holy month of Ramadan, reported the Saudi Press Agency on Tuesday.

Prince Saud was briefed on the operational plans implemented by the relevant authorities, including crowd management mechanisms, service enhancements, and facility preparations aimed at ensuring smooth movement and enhancing comfort and safety levels for visitors to the Grand Mosque, particularly during peak times.

He reviewed developmental initiatives and smart services supporting the operational system, notably electric mobility carts for transporting the elderly, persons with disabilities, and those in need of assistance within the Grand Mosque.

The tour also included an overview of the efforts of guidance teams deployed across the corridors and courtyards of the Grand Mosque, providing multilingual assistance and direction.

Prince Saud reviewed the interactive map and digital mobility platform, which allows visitors to plan their routes in advance and identify service locations, entrances and exits, and less crowded pathways.

He was briefed on crowd management systems, including the visitor density sensor platform that measures human density in real time, and the Tawaf and Sa’i crowd status display service, which allows worshippers to select appropriate times to perform rituals with ease. Models of the modern multilingual guidance system were also reviewed.

Prince Saud also visited the Smart Engineering Command and Control Center, which serves as an advanced central platform linking operational systems and monitoring performance in real time, boosting operational efficiency and raising readiness levels during Ramadan.
