Turkey and Pakistan opposed the use of harsh language in a diplomatic statement condemning Iran at a meeting of Arab and Muslim foreign ministers in Riyadh last week, multiple sources familiar with the matter told Middle East Eye.

Saudi Arabia, in particular, pressed for a tough censure of Iran, which has fired hundreds of missiles and drones at the kingdom in response to the US-Israel war on the Islamic Republic, a western official familiar with the meeting told MEE.

“Turkey and Pakistan weren’t convinced to condemn Iran until the missiles started flying overhead,” the western official told MEE, referring to strikes that targeted Saudi Arabia while several foreign dignitaries from the Muslim and Arab world were in Riyadh for meetings.

Another source familiar with the meeting told MEE that had Turkey and Pakistan not attended the ministerial meeting, the Riyadh declaration would have been even stronger in condemning Iran.



...Israel was censured in the final two paragraphs for its “aggression against Lebanon and its expansionist policies in the region”.

A source familiar with the matter told MEE that Turkey was largely responsible for pushing to include language in the declaration that condemned Israel.

Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Egypt held a meeting on the sidelines on joint security after the Riyadh declaration was drafted.
