U.S. President Donald Trump met on Tuesday with leaders from the Arab and Islamic worlds on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York City to discuss ending the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, repeatedly describing it as "his most important meeting."
Trump told the press at the beginning of the meeting: "We want to end the war in Gaza. We will end it. Maybe we can end it now."
He added: "I have held several meetings, and this is the most important meeting for me because we will end something that should never have started."
The meeting was attended by leaders from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, Indonesia, and Pakistan. Trump stated that the meeting included "all the major players except Israel, but that will be the next meeting," referring to his planned meeting with the Israeli Prime Minister at the White House next Monday.
Trump presented the eight leaders of the Arab and Islamic countries with an American plan regarding the sector to end the Israeli genocide in Gaza, without any details being released about the contents of the plan.
As he left the meeting venue, Trump remarked: “My meeting with Arab and Muslim leaders about Gaza was great,” without further elaboration.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel, with unlimited American military, political, and diplomatic support, has been committing genocide in Gaza, resulting in over 65,000 deaths, 166,000 injuries, most of whom are children and women, and a famine that has killed 442 Palestinians, including 147 children, and has almost completely destroyed Gaza.
Trump had called in his speech before the United Nations General Assembly for an immediate end to the war in Gaza. He stated in his speech at the UN, "Those who support peace must unite in demanding the release of the hostages."
Trump added, "Some members of this body (the United Nations) seek to recognize a Palestinian state unilaterally as if they are encouraging the continuation of the conflict. The rewards will be very great for Hamas terrorists for their brutal acts."
The U.S. president described Iran as "the world's number one state sponsor of terrorism," asserting that he would not allow it to possess nuclear weapons, and he called for the destruction of biological weapons and a halt to nuclear development.
Trump harshly criticized the United Nations, considering that it has not stood by the United States to stop wars, pointing out that the process of building the organization's headquarters was marred by corruption. He also stated that he ended seven wars, some of which lasted nearly three decades, and negotiated trade deals with many countries.
