EU and Gulf states postpone summit in Saudi Arabia amid security concerns
Most outlets reported the postponement of the EU-Gulf summit in Saudi Arabia due to security concerns linked to Houthi attacks, with the decision attributed to Brussels. While the framing was largely consistent, some outlets, like the Daily Times, led with the mention of Saudi security concerns and the specific date of the original summit, while others, like Arab News Pakistan, focused on the cause as "increased security concerns stemming from Houthi attacks" without specifying a date. A few, like Hum News English, included the phrase "fears of Houthi attacks" and mentioned concerns about air travel. Excerpts from Business Recorder and 24 News HD included the detail that Saudi Arabia is facing "sustained attacks" from the Houthis.
