Arab Leaders Demand Israeli Withdrawal for Middle East Peace

At the Riyadh summit, Arab and Muslim nations urge Israel to end occupation and support Palestinian statehood.

The Riyadh summit, hosted by Saudi Arabia, brought together leaders from Arab and Muslim countries to address the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Participants called for Israel to withdraw from all occupied territories, including the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights, as per UN resolutions.
The summit emphasized the creation of a Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, aligning with the Arab Peace Initiative of 2002.
Despite the strong declarations, political analysts doubt the effectiveness of these statements without actionable measures or unified Arab support.
The summit also highlighted regional dynamics, including Saudi Arabia's warming ties with Iran and the implications for future U.S. foreign policy under President-elect Donald Trump.
