Gulf leaders met in Jeddah on 28 April, their first in-person summit since the war began, hosted by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman with Qatar's emir, Bahrain's king and Kuwait's crown prince among those attending, Al Jazeera reported. Qatar's emir said the meeting showed a unified Gulf stance, and the GCC states said the strait must reopen and any deal must be permanent. Al Jazeera's 29 April summary said the leaders rejected Iran's 'illegal actions' to close Hormuz, warned against transit fees and urged Tehran to rebuild trust. Qatar's foreign ministry warned against a 'frozen conflict'.
