RIYADH, Nov 11 (MENA) - Leaders of Arab and Muslim states and governments reaffirmed their support for the efforts made by Egypt for uniting Palestinian factions and empowering the Palestinian Authority to fulfill their responsibilities and duties towards the Palestinian people.

In a statement following an Extraordinary Arab and Islamic Summit, hosted by Riyadh on Monday, they also reiterated their support for efforts made by Egypt and Qatar, in cooperation with the US, to achieve an immediate and sustainable ceasefire in Gaza.

They held Israel accountable for the failure of these efforts due to the Israeli government's backing out of the agreements reached by negotiators.

The summit addressed the unprecedented crises unfolding in Gaza and Lebanon amid the ongoing brutal Israeli aggression. (MENA)
