Leaders of the Gulf Cooperation Council met in Jeddah for an extraordinary summit, their first in-person gathering since the start of the war involving Iran.
Discussions focused on regional security, including concerns over missile and drone attacks, and efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for global energy supplies.
The meeting also came amid broader shifts in energy policy, with the United Arab Emirates announcing plans to leave OPEC and increase production in the coming years.
Meanwhile, Qatar reiterated the need for a comprehensive agreement to end the conflict, as Gulf states weigh both security risks and economic pressures.
