Algiers, Algeria: Arab leaders gathered in the Algerian capital on Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila) for their first summit since a string of normalization deals with Israel that have divided the region.

Since the last Arab League summit in 2019, several members of the 22-member bloc -- for decades a forum for strident declarations of support for the Palestinian cause -- have normalized ties with the Jewish state.
