Foreign ministers of the six Gulf Arab states will meet in Muscat on Sunday to discuss Israel's attack on Gaza which has so far claimed at least 271 Palestinian people.
The ministers are supposed to work out the agenda of the 29th summit of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) which will kick off on Monday.
"The foreign ministers' meeting will touch upon various issues, especially Israel's attack on Gaza," an official source told Xinhua.
The international community should immediately move to put an end to the Israeli aggression against the Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip, GCC Secretary General Abdul Rahman Al-Attiyah said in a statement on Saturday.
The statement said that GCC member states support the Palestinian people to regain their rights.
Established in 1981, GCC is a regional political and economic alliance aimed at enhancing cooperation among its six member countries, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait.
The main topics for this year's summit were initially focused on regional security and monetary union as well as discussion of the impact of the global financial crisis on the region.
