Saudi Arabia is hosting an emergency gathering of Arab and Islamic foreign ministers in Riyadh on Wednesday to discuss ways of bolstering regional security and stability.
The Kingdom’s Foreign Ministry said the meeting will aim to deepen consultation and coordination on how best to support peace and stability.
The talks come against a backdrop of sharply escalating tensions across the Middle East.
Following a joint US-Israeli strike on Iran on Feb. 28, Tehran launched successive waves of missile and drone attacks targeting Gulf states, Israel and American assets across the region, plunging the Middle East into its deepest security crisis in years.
