Ammon News - The Arab League is meeting in Baghdad on Saturday to discuss Gaza and other regional crises.

Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas was the first Arab leader to arrive in Baghdad Friday.

But a diplomatic source said that most Gulf countries will attend at a ministerial level.

The war in Gaza is expected to dominate the agenda, especially after Israel approved plans to expand its offensive and spoke of the "conquest" of the territory.

United Nations chief Antonio Guterres will attend the summit, and Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez who has sharply criticised Israel's devastating offensive in Gaza is expected to address it as a guest.

Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein said the Baghdad summit will endorse decisions that were made in Cairo's meeting in March to support Gaza's reconstruction as an alternative to Trump's widely condemned proposal. AFP
