Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense, offered on Saturday their condolences to Tunisia over the victims of the flash floods, reported the Saudi Press Agency.

In separate cables to President Caid Essebsi, they expressed the sincere condolences of the Saudi government and people to the families of the victims.

At least five people were killed in flash floods in Tunisia, announced the interior ministry on Thursday.

The drownings come less than a month after torrential rains killed at least five people in the northeastern region of Cap Bon.

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.
