The Arab-Islamic Summit in Riyadh caught the attention of the nation’s hosts

It was a quiet night on the airwaves, as the nation’s pundits turned their attention to the Arab-Islamic Summit being hosted in Riyadh today, while regional tensions continue to escalate amid Israel's ongoing military aggressions in Gaza and Lebanon.

Ala Mas'ouleety's Ahmed Moussa dedicated a big chunk of his show to discussing the summit, which he said differs from its predecessors, particularly regarding the Palestinian cause and the potential implications of Donald Trump's return to the White House this January following his electoral victory (watch, runtime: 1:01:14).

This year's focus: The summit will evaluate the decisions made during last year's meeting, particularly those related to ending the war on Gaza and the two-state solution, political science professor Reda Farhat told Moussa.
