Jamaat-i-Islami Emir Sirajul Haq has expressed disappointment, stating that the OIC Summit in Riyadh falls short of meeting the expectations of the Ummah, especially in light of the extraordinary challenges faced by the people of Palestine.

He said the leaders of the Islamic world seemed reluctant to take decisive action due to their apprehension towards Washington, which hindered them from announcing any practical measures to aid the people of Gaza. During the briefing, he shared insights from his six-day tour to Iran, Turkey, and Qatar.

Haq said he met Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Doha and also held meetings with Turkish Assembly speaker Dr Numan Kurtulmus in Istanbul and foreign affair advisor to Iran supreme leader Ayatollah Qomi in Tehran.
