Al Jazeera’s Michael Appel reports that the two main issues discussed at the GCC meeting were opening up the Strait of Hormuz and crafting a strategy that shows unity and coordination within the GCC nations.
“Since February 28, when the war kicked off, some GCC states were targeted more than others. The UAE, in particular, felt the brunt of Iranian munitions,” Appel says.
“So, these leaders came together in Jeddah. A very brief meeting took place against the backdrop of an announcement from the UAE that it is indeed going to pull out of OPEC.”
