Arab leaders gathered at the Cairo Peace Summit to condemn Israel’s bombardment of Gaza and call for renewed efforts to achieve a Middle East peace settlement. Jordan’s King Abdullah criticized the global silence on Israel’s attacks and urged a fair approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas affirmed that Palestinians would not be displaced or driven off their land. The summit aims to prevent a wider regional war, but it is unlikely to produce a joint statement due to sensitivities around a ceasefire and mentioning Hamas’s attack.
