- Saudi Arabia to host extraordinary joint Islamic-Arab summit on Saturday

Saudi Arabia has announced that it will host an extraordinary joint Islamic-Arab summit in Riyadh on Saturday, according to the Saudi foreign ministry. Originally, the kingdom was set to host two separate summits – the Organization of Islamic Cooperation summit and the Arab League summit. However, the two gatherings will now be replaced by a joint summit. The purpose of this meeting is to address the current exceptional circumstances in the Palestinian Gaza Strip and to unify efforts in order to establish a collective position. The decision to hold this joint summit came after consultations with the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.
