The Saudi embassy in Paris said a statement late Tuesday that a man arrested in the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi "has nothing to do with the case in question" and demanded his immediate release.

French police had said they arrested a man suspected of involvement in the 2018 murder of Khashoggi in Istanbul.

The man was arrested at the Roissy airport near Paris.

The permanent delegates to the Arab League will convene an extraordinary session on Sunday, chaired by Yemen, in response to a request from Iraq.

Arab League Assistant Secretary General Ambassador Hossam Zaki said on Saturday that the meeting will focus on a memo from the UN Security Council president, which contains the Israeli occupation's claims of increased attacks from Iraqi territory since September, SPA reported.

"The General Secretariat of the Arab League received Iraq's request to hold an extraordinary session of the Arab League Council.”

“The request was circulated among member states for consultation, and it was agreed to hold the meeting tomorrow at the General Secretariat," Zaki said, adding that several Arab countries have expressed support for Iraq's initiative.
