CAIRO, Nov 11 (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia will host an extraordinary joint Islamic-Arab summit in Riyadh on Saturday, the Saudi foreign ministry said late on Friday.

The kingdom was scheduled to host two extraordinary summits, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation summit and the Arab League summit, on Saturday. The joint summit will replace the two separate gatherings, the ministry said.

The joint meeting "will be held in response to the exceptional circumstances taking place in the Palestinian Gaza Strip as countries feel the need to unify efforts and come out with a unified collective position," it said.

Why hold it in Riyadh? Probably for no bigger reason than it’s the capital and largest city of Saudi Arabia, and is also the seat of its government.

Why not hold it in Mecca? Probably for the simple reason that Mecca has no airport: the nearest airfield is over 40 miles away, at the King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah.

(Plus, per the article, the Arab League and the OIC were having separate meetings in Riyadh anyhow, but they decided to combine them into one given current events.)

I wonder how the UN would react if Trump 47 were to host a worldwide Jewish/Christian Summit, where the people of the earth could decide what to do about the “Islamic problem”?

Not sure how Saudi and Iran will resolve their serious differences who have consistently fought about who is the rightful heir of Muhammed and thus leader state of Islam...Iran is not Arab thy are Persions....just how that will play out in this meeting since Irans President is there also will be interesting.

The Arab leaders could just as well sit on Irans involvement or curtail it....but that would never be made known outside their circle to the world. That’s not how they operate. It’s always masked and or a matter of deception in what is reported.

The majority in Iran and Turkey are “Turkic” people, which is a different race than Arabs. The ruling clerics in Iran are Turkic.

The Shia in Syria and Iraq are Turkic decent. Basically across the Middle East to the far north there are Turkic people.

The term Arab comes from a Hebrew bible term meaning mixed company or mixed people. Arabs are mixed race.

You could say that Arabs wherever they are are generally Sunni. You can’t say the opposite opposite, Turkey is a Turkic people that are Sunni. Kinda of an odd ball.

Sounds to me like that would be a good time for a ten megaton thermonuclear airburst at a thousand feet. Wipe out the leaders of the “peaceful” mooslimbs in one fell swoop. Sorry, shouldn’t have written that, might get banned.

Psalm 83.

This is a continuation of a war begun in 1948, and kept going through 1967, 1973, lebanon wars, intifada wars, and gaza wars.

It is better considered as the Arab War to Eradicate Israel, 1948 to present. There really hasn’t been much of a pause, politicians notwithstanding.

It will continue until israel is forced to control all of jerusalem and historic Israel. That will mean summer is nigh.

The next couple of years are looking to be massive global shifts in power across the globe.

Incredible to see this.

It sure is interesting watching all this in light of Bible prophecy.

Since Reuters wrote it, I knew it was going to be against Israel. I’m surprised Saudi Arabia is against the war. They won’t let Palestinians in, so they know they’re bad.
