Tunisian President Kais Saied met with HH Lt General Sheikh Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior of the UAE, and Arab Interior Ministers at Carthage Palace for the 41st session of the Arab Interior Ministers Council. The meeting discussed topics related to enhancing joint Arab action and coordination in the security and police fields. Representatives from the League of Arab States, the International Criminal Police Organisation, the UN Office of Counter-Terrorism, the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, Naif Arab University for Security Sciences, and the Arab Police Sports Federation also attended.

The meetings focused on bolstering security cooperation among Arab countries, including a draft 9th Arab media plan for security awareness and crime prevention, a draft 11th Arab security plan, and a draft 8th phased plan for the Arab strategy for traffic safety. The discussions also focused on areas of cooperation with relevant regional and international organizations, technical reports, and interim plans for cooperation and coordination in confronting different security risks.

The 41st Arab Interior Ministers Council came against increasing tensions in the Gaza Strip and resumed negotiations in Qatar on exchanging the remaining Israeli hostages for a ceasefire in the five-month-long fighting. The Gaza crisis erupted on October 7 as Hamas militants launched a surprise attack on southern Israeli cities, killing 1,200 people and taking several others hostages.
