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.

Would it not be incredible if they came out and said “We don’t care. They had it coming”?
Feeling their oats seeing how week Biden is and how defeated by the Islamic invasion whiten Christian nations have become.
Nothing good is going to come of this unification.
Aren’t all Arabs basically Muslim (Islamic)?
Iran is islamic but not Arab. Am I right. Will they be invited?
So how many suicide bombers will show up?
Iran is Islamic. But they’re Shi’ite. However, they support Hamas which is Sunni.
El al appears to have suspended flights over Saudi Arabia and Jordan.
There is no evidence of strong Iran support of Hamas.
Why would anyone think so? Saudi Arabia has much more money than Iran, and they are Sunni. Why not presume they are the money source?
Why? Because they are unsanctionable oil. They cut people’s heads off and we ignore it. Somehow, though, we are not supposed to ignore a Ukraine governed by Russia. What is worse? A change of governance or cutting people’s heads off?
Organization of the Islamic Cooperation (OIC) includes both Arab and non-Arab states. It also includes both Sunni and Shiite states. The major Islamic population not represented is in India (200 million).

A list of countries I have no interest in visiting and if they were gone tomorrow I would NGAS.
Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi’s expected attendance at the OIC summit on Sunday will bring an unusual level of attention to the 57-member bloc of Muslim-majority countries.
It will be Raisi’s first trip to Saudi Arabia since a surprise, China-brokered rapprochement deal announced in March ended seven years of severed bilateral ties.
Iran is a backer not just of Hamas but of Hezbollah and Yemen’s Huthi rebels, who have been at war with a Saudi-led coalition since 2015.
However, the Middle East heavyweights agree on publicly supporting Palestinians, a point stressed in official communications on the first call between Raisi and Prince Mohammed on October 12, five days after the war erupted.
Because the OIC’s membership extends from Africa to Asia, any statement coming out of Sunday’s summit could also underscore how support for Palestinians is growing well beyond the Middle East, said Saudi analyst Aziz Alghashian.
“Non-Western countries are not accepting this any longer and not buying the American narrative, the Western narrative” of the conflict, he said.
No. A fair number are Christian. Not all follow Mad Mo.
Forty years ago.
Amazingly, D’estaing only died a couple of years ago.
Christians In Action, where are you?
Good place for a well placed bomb.
Why hold it in Riyadh I wonder?
With the huge complex built at Mecca, and since they are all Muslim, you would think that they would hold their conference at a place that is central to them all.
Home base more or less, they can easily handle the numbers, that’s for sure.
