US President Donald Trump meets leaders from the Arab and Muslim world on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York City, repeatedly calling it his “most important meeting.”
Leaders of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, Indonesia, and Pakistan are in attendance.
“We want to end the war in Gaza. We’re going to end it. Maybe we can end it right now,” he tells the press at the start of the meeting.
“This is the one that’s very important to me, because we’re going to end something that you have probably never started,” he states.
Trump also compliments Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto’s speech to the General Assembly earlier, in which Subianto said peace requires guaranteeing Israel’s security.
