Arab and Muslim leaders gathered in Saudi Arabia on Monday to discuss the ongoing conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon, with focus on the new US President-elect Donald Trump’s likely policies. This Riyadh summit follows October’s meeting by an international coalition advocating for a Palestinian state. Analysts suggest regional leaders aim to urge the Trump administration toward de-escalation and a more diplomatic stance. Israel’s military campaign in Gaza, which has led to over 43,600 civilian deaths, is central to discussions. Saudi Arabia also aims to affirm its strategic importance to Trump’s administration, emphasizing its role as a regional partner.
