US President Donald Trump meets leaders from the Arab and Muslim world on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York City, repeatedly calling it his “most important meeting.”
Leaders of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, Indonesia, and Pakistan are in attendance.
“We want to end the war in Gaza. We’re going to end it. Maybe we can end it right now,” he tells the press at the start of the meeting.
“This is the one that’s very important to me, because we’re going to end something that you have probably never started,” he states.
Trump also compliments Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto’s speech to the General Assembly earlier, in which Subianto said peace requires guaranteeing Israel’s security.
Erdogan says meeting on Gaza between Trump, heads of Muslim states was ‘very fruitful’
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan says a meeting on Gaza between US President Donald Trump and leaders of Muslim countries on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly was “very fruitful.”
NATO member Turkey has harshly criticized Israel’s attacks in Gaza against Hamas — which Erdogan is a leading backer of — and claimed they amount to genocide. It has halted all trade with Israel, urged international measures against it, and called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
Speaking to reporters in New York after the meeting, Erdogan says a joint declaration from the meeting will be published and that he is “pleased” with the outcomes of the meeting, but doesn’t elaborate.
