The 1990 Arab summit, officially Emergency Arab Summit Conference, was an extraordinary summit that includes the leaders of the member states of the Arab League, hosted by the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, between May 28 and 30, 1990.[1][2]

It was held about two months before Iraq invaded Kuwait. It was called for by Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, but Syria and Lebanon were absent.[3] The conferees warned of the wave of Jewish immigration from the Soviet Union, which was on the verge of disintegration, and considered it a threat to Arab national security and the rights of the Palestinians.[1][4][5]
