The Saudi newspaper Riyadh published a video of Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan during the Arab Islamic summit in Riyadh, noting that it gained significant interaction and attention on social media. Bin Farhan, who was sitting behind Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, was seen taking a deep breath with his eyes closed, a gesture interpreted by activists as a sign of fatigue, especially after the intense political activity he had engaged in recently in conjunction with the Israeli-Palestinian war. Social media users reacted to the video, with one commenter on the "X" platform stating: "May God protect them for the country and its people and grant them reward for their efforts. 72 hours of welcoming delegations, meetings, attending summits, and farewells. All we can say is may God reward them and benefit Islam and Muslims. We are drowning in comfort while they are exhausted."
A wide circulation of the clip of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom, Prince Faisal bin Farhan, appeared fatigued during the Arab Islamic summit after a significant amount of political activity he undertook in support of Saudi Arabia's efforts to rally Arab, Islamic, and international public opinion to stop the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza.
The Arab Islamic summit regarding Gaza took place in Riyadh on Saturday afternoon, after the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced late Friday that the two emergency Islamic and Arab summits would be merged into one summit.
