Arab leaders convened in Baghdad, demanding an immediate halt to Israel's Gaza attacks and unconditional aid access. They pledged reconstruction funds once hostilities cease, echoing a previous Cairo summit's plan. The summit, attended by leaders including Egypt's el-Sissi and Qatar's Emir, emphasized the need for a Palestinian state for lasting peace. UN Secretary-General Guterres called for hostage release and aid flow, opposing Palestinian displacement. Iraq pledged $20 million each for Gaza and Lebanon's reconstruction. The final statement condemned Israeli actions and supported a two-state solution. Despite US President Trump's regional visit, no Gaza ceasefire deal emerged.
