“It’s been the narrative of the Arab summit that there are only statements of condemnation. But I don’t think that’s the case today,” al-Mudhahka told Al Jazeera.
“I think it will be [the adoption of] certain measures that will give a very strong statement to Netanyahu.”
The Arab and Muslim world is intently awaiting the outcome of the meeting, he added, describing it as a show of solidarity by the region.
At the BBC Proms on Friday night, Jewish Israeli conductor Ilan Volkov spoke out against Israel’s genocide and occupation in Gaza:
Israeli forces aim to push Palestinians out of Gaza City through genocide, ethnic cleansing, and creating conditions that make life impossible. Nowhere is safe, and the vastly insufficient quantities of aid are delivered through routes that are extremely dangerous for civilians. The destruction of critical infrastructure is ongoing and deliberate.
MSF calls for the immediate end to the use of evacuation orders as a means of forcible displacement, a lasting ceasefire, and the entry of humanitarian aid at scale. We also call on Israel’s allies like the US to stop arms transfers to Israel immediately and ramp up the pressure to halt the offensive.
Without urgent, radical intervention, Gaza faces total annihilation.
Olga Cherevko, Spokesperson in Gaza for the UN aid coordination office OCHA, warned that history will not judge the international community “based on the speeches that we made” but rather on actions.
Speaking from Deir Al-Balah, she delivered a blunt message: “When Gaza burned, and children starved, and hospitals collapsed – did you act?”
She said this past Tuesday, Gaza City “was handed a death sentence”, with hundreds of thousands of battered civilians ordered to flee to an already overcrowded area where “even small animals have to search for spaces to squeeze between to move around.”
UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini said that the famine in Gaza is the direct result of deliberate restrictions on humanitarian aid, compounded by the destruction of vital infrastructure and repeated Israeli attacks on relief operations. “In 30 years of humanitarian work, I have never encountered such blatant disregard for the protected status of humanitarian workers,” Lazzarini added.
Olga Cherevko, spokeswoman for the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), warned that Israel has effectively “imposed a death sentence” on Gaza City. Speaking via video link from Deir al-Balah to journalists at the UN headquarters in New York, she said Palestinians are left with no choice but “leave or die.”

Medical sources in Gaza announced on Saturday that the death toll from Israel’s ongoing assault on the Gaza Strip has risen to 64,803 martyrs and 164,264 injuries since October 7, 2023.
According to the same sources, 47 people were killed and 205 injured in the past 24 hours, with many victims still trapped under the rubble or lying in the streets, where rescue and civil defense teams have been unable to reach them.
Since dawn, at least 48 people have been killed in Israeli attacks across the enclave. Among the dead, 32 people were killed in Gaza City.
On September 13, 2025, Romania’s air defence forces responded swiftly to an unprecedented security incident when a Russian drone intruded into Romanian airspace near the Ukrainian border. The Romanian Air Force scrambled two F-16 fighter jets to intercept the drone, which was detected approximately 20 kilometres southwest of Chilia Veche, Tulcea County.
The F-16 jets tracked the drone until it disappeared from radar, ensuring no invasion of populated areas and preventing any public safety threat.

The Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAE) summoned the Russian ambassador to Bucharest on September 11 to convey its position of firm condemnation of the violation of Polish airspace by Russian drones, according to a ministry‘s press release.
„The Romanian side stressed that, by its gravity, implications and scope, the incident represents an unprecedented escalation, as well as a threat to the security of the citizens of an Allied state and strategic partner of Romania,“ the MAE said.
