 "Saudi Arabia to host Joint Arab Islamic summit in response to 'unprecedented circumstances in Gaza'")
Saudi Arabia on Saturday will host a Joint Arab Islamic Extraordinary Summit in response to the “unprecedented circumstances in Gaza,” according to Saudi’s Foreign Ministry. Initially, the plan was to hold two separate Arab and Islamic Summits. The joint summit will replace the two separate gatherings, the ministry said. In a statement posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, the ministry said, “In response to the unprecedented circumstances in Gaza, and after the consultation of Saudi Arabia with the League of the Arab States and the OIC, it was decided to hold a Joint Arab Islamic Extraordinary Summit in an exceptional manner on November 11, 2023.”

Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi is expected to travel to Saudi Arabia for the summit. The visit will be Raisi’s first trip to the Gulf Kingdom since the two countries agreed to restore diplomatic relations after seven years of severed ties, a deal brokered by China and announced in March. Meanwhile, fighting intensified overnight into Saturday near Gaza City’s overcrowded hospitals, which Palestinian officials said were hit by explosions and gunfire.
“Israel is now launching a war on Gaza City hospitals,” said Mohammad Abu Selmeyah, director of Al Shifa hospital.
He said later that at least 25 people were killed in Israeli strikes on Al-Buraq school in Gaza City, where people whose homes had been destroyed were sheltering.
