UAE and Kuwait leaders meet, call for a ceasefire in Gaza: Report
UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan has arrived in Kuwait for talks with Emir Sheikh Mishal al-Ahmad al-Jaber al-Sabah, as the leaders called for “mobilising international efforts” to reach a ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon, the Emirati state news agency WAM reported.
The pair underscored the importance of halting “hostilities in Gaza, with a priority on ensuring full protection for civilians in line with international humanitarian law”.
They also reaffirmed “the steadfast stance of both countries in preserving Lebanon’s unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity, and their commitment to standing by the Lebanese people in all circumstances,” the news agency added.
Arab and Muslim leaders convene in Saudi Arabia to discuss wars in Gaza and Lebanon
Arab and Muslim leaders have begun arriving in Saudi Arabia for a summit scheduled for Monday that will focus on Israel’s wars in Gaza and Lebanon, according to Saudi state media.
The Saudi state-run Al-Ekhbariya news channel broadcast footage of Nigerian President Bola Tinubu and Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati landing in Riyadh.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif are among those also scheduled to attend.
The Saudi foreign ministry announced the summit in late October during the first “international alliance” meeting, pushing for a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict.
Attendees will “discuss the continued Israeli aggression on the Palestinian territories and the Lebanese Republic and the current developments in the region,” the official Saudi Press Agency said.
The summit comes one year after a similar gathering in Riyadh of the Cairo-based Arab League and the Jeddah-based Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), during which leaders condemned Israeli actions in Gaza as “barbaric”.
However, there was disagreement over measures like severing economic and diplomatic ties with Israel and disrupting its oil supplies.
