Arab League foreign ministers gathered in Istanbul earlier today to discuss the escalating war between Iran and Israel, Turkish state news agency Anadolu say, quoting diplomatic sources.

The ministers are in Turkey’s largest city on the eve of weekend gathering of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), which is also slated to discuss the air war launched a week ago.

Some 40 top diplomats are slated to join the weekend gathering of the OIC which will also have a session dedicated to discussing the Iran-Israel crisis, the Turkish foreign ministry said.

The Arab League ministers are expected to release a statement following their meeting, Anadolu says.
