RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Monday met with several leaders on the sidelines of the extraordinary Arab-Islamic summit to discuss the Israeli attack on Hamas in Doha last week.
The attack killed six people and triggered a wave of criticism, including from US President Donald Trump. Hamas says top officials survived the Israeli air strike.
Prince Mohammed met with Jordan’s King Abdullah II, Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, Syrian Arab Republic President Ahmad Al-Sharaa, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
The crown prince also headed the Kingdom’s delegation to an extraordinary session of the Supreme Council of the Gulf Cooperation Council held on Monday.
After the summit concluded, Prince Mohammed sent a cable of thanks to the Emir of Qatar.
“We would like to commend the outcomes of the extraordinary session of the Supreme Council of the Gulf Cooperation Council and the emergency Arab-Islamic Summit,” the cable said.
“These summits affirmed the support of all participating countries for the position of Qatar in confronting the brutal aggression against it, and our absolute rejection of any violation of the principles of international law and norms,” it added.
