At a summit held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Arab and Muslim leaders demanded Israel's withdrawal from occupied Palestinian territories as essential for regional peace.

The summit, attended by the Arab League and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation's 57 member nations, called for Israel to withdraw from territories occupied since June 4, 1967, including the West Bank, Gaza, East Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights.

The leaders condemned Israeli actions in Gaza as 'horrific and shocking crimes' amounting to genocide.

The meeting followed Donald Trump's reelection as US President, a key supporter of Israel.

The summit urged international action to establish a sovereign Palestinian state, but faced opposition from the Israeli government, which remains against Palestinian statehood.

Additionally, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman called for a ceasefire and criticized Israeli strikes in Gaza and southern Lebanon, amid escalating tensions with Hezbollah.

The summit served as a signal to the new US administration regarding Middle East policy priorities.
