Hosted by Saudi Arabia, the summit on Saturday, November 11, is a response to the critical situation in the Gaza Strip.

Minister of State Khalifa Shaheen Al Marar headed the UAE delegation at the meeting in Riyadh on Thursday, where they announced the rejection of the displacement of Palestinians in Gaza.
