- The summit aims to soften Arab states' stance toward Israel and spur aid corridors into Gaza with Jordan and the UAE conducting air drops, despite stalled talks over hostages and a permanent ceasefire.
- Three decades after the Oslo Accord, the UN maintains its vision for two states along pre-1967 lines, with international consensus still enjoying near-universal support, says UN Secretary-General António Guterres.
