Saudi Arabia played host to an Arab-Islamic Summit in response to the "unprecedented circumstances in Gaza," with leaders of Arab and Islamic nations convening in Riyadh for an Emergency Israel-Gaza Summit. A significant moment occurred with the arrival of the Iranian President, marking the first encounter between him and the Saudi Crown Prince. This visit is particularly noteworthy as it signifies the first by an Iranian president to the Kingdom in 11 years. Additionally, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, readmitted to the Arab League in May after an 11-year absence, attended the Summit in Riyadh. The gathering resulted in a joint Arab and Islamic resolution condemning "Israeli aggression against Gaza," rejecting the characterisation of the conflict as a "war of self-defence." Leaders united in their demand for an end to the siege in Gaza and the immediate entry of humanitarian aid.
