Arab Foreign Ministers Hold Preparatory Meeting for Arab Summit

Today, Thursday, Arab foreign ministers held a preparatory meeting in Riyadh for the emergency Arab summit scheduled for next Saturday, to discuss ways to confront the ongoing escalation in Palestine.

It is expected that the emergency Arab summit will demand a ceasefire, in addition to a solid political position to support the Palestinians.

This meeting is the second in less than a month, after the first meeting that was held urgently at the headquarters of the Arab League in Cairo, on October 10, upon the request of the State of Palestine.

Next Saturday, leaders of the 22 Arab countries will meet in Saudi Arabia to hold an extraordinary session of the Arab League Council at the leadership level, to  discuss ways to confront the ongoing crisis in the Palestinian territories.
