Saudi Arabia announced that it has been decided to hold a Joint Arab-Islamic Extraordinary Summit in Riyadh on Saturday in response to the exceptional circumstances in Gaza.
Saturday’s joint summit will come - following consultations between the Kingdom and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) - instead of the “Arab Non-ordinary Summit” and “Extraordinary Islamic Summit”, which were scheduled on the same date.
The leaders of member states have agreed on the need for unified efforts to come up with a collective Arab and Islamic position to address the dangerous and unprecedented developments witnessed in Gaza and the Palestinian territories and to contain their repercussions.
