Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud chaired on Tuesday the weekly cabinet meeting that was held in Jeddah.

The cabinet was briefed on the message sent by King Salman to Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian and the telephone call received by Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, from French President Emmanuel Macron.

The cabinet discussed cooperation and joint work with various countries and organizations, carried out in the past week, to boost the Kingdom's position, and its regional and international role, serve common interests, and support stability and prosperity in the region and beyond.

The ministers commended the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) for implementing projects in 100 countries in collaboration with international partners. This underscores the Kingdom's commitment to delivering humanitarian aid and supporting communities affected by disasters and crises.

The cabinet also lauded the outcome of the 9th Conference of Ministers of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs, convened in Makkah to strengthen Islamic solidarity, advocate moderation, and address the concerns of the Muslim world, thereby fostering unity and stability.

US President Donald Trump arrived in Doha on Wednesday on the second leg of his Gulf tour that he started in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday.

He was welcomed upon his arrival by Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani.

Meeting later at the Royal Palace in Doha, Trump and Sheikh Tamim signed economic and defense agreements.

The first had Qatar buying airplanes from Boeing, the American aerospace company whose chief executive attended the event. Trump said it was the largest order of jets in the company history, worth over $200 billion.

Next up was a defense deal and the purchase of military drones.

The final cooperation agreement was signed by Trump and Al Thani themselves.

Before departing to Doha, Trump sat down for a historic meeting with Syrian interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa in Riyadh.

Trump said the rapprochement with Syria came at the urging of Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister, and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

“There is a new government that will hopefully succeed,” said Trump, who announced he'll move to lift sanctions on Syria to give the country “a chance at peace.”
