Saudi summit: Leaders meet to discuss Middle East conflicts | BBC News

Arab and Muslim leaders have met in Saudi Arabia to discuss the wars in Gaza and Lebanon.

The summit in Riyadh will focus on what has been described as Israel’s ongoing aggression in the region.

The new Israeli Defence Minister said his country is close to defeating Hezbollah, and described the killing of the group’s leader in September as a “crowning achievement”.

The BBC’s Security Correspondent Frank Gardener is following the meeting in Riyadh.

Our college had meetings where everyone drank coffee and joked and left. No solution was discussed. Looks like similar meeting

USELESS MUSLIM LEADERS WHO SOLD THEIR OWN. THEY ARE BUSY CALLING FOR MEETINGS WHILE INNOCENT DIE AROUND THEM. WHAT DOES THEIR MEETINGS HELP. WHAT DO THEY DISCUSS ABOUT. THEY MADE A DEAL WITH THE DEVIL AND NOW THEY HAVE NO WAY OUT.

It's just like a smoker, when he finishes cigarettes the smoke has gone, talking without Action

[Nobleman]

They didn't say "Aggression" they said Genocide in Gaza.

"meet to discuss how to better sell it to the public"

Curious that Middle Eastern leaders were not so interesting in meeting to discuss Saudi Arabia's war in Yemen which killed upwards of 400, 000 people, including some 265, 000 children, many who died from malnutrition and an absence of medical care brought on by Saudi blockades of Yemeni ports. Indeed, these many hundreds of thousands of deaths were barely mentioned in western media and generated very little public reaction in Europe or the United States, notwithstanding that Saudi Arabia was never directly threatened by any Yemeni forces.
