Late last month, Saudi Arabia called for a follow-up joint Arab-Islamic summit to address the continued Israeli assault on Palestinian territories and Lebanon and the worsening situation in the region.
Regional tensions have escalated due to Israel’s brutal offensive on the Gaza Strip, which has killed more than 43,000 people, mostly women and children, following a Hamas attack last year.
As the conflict spread to Lebanon with Israel launching deadly strikes across the country, over 3,200 people have been killed and more than 13,800 others injured in Israeli attacks since last year, according to Lebanese health authorities.
Despite international warnings that the Middle East region is on the brink of a regional war, Tel Aviv expanded the conflict on Oct 1 by launching a ground assault into southern Lebanon.
