| Indulging Egypt’s need to be seen as important. |
[GEO.TV] Arab leaders attending the Cairo Summit for Peace on Saturday condemned the Israeli bombardment of Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
, while European nations emphasised the need to protect civilians amid relentless Israeli bombing.
Notably, Israel and high-ranking US officials were absent from the meeting, and as a result, there was no consensus reached on how to contain the ongoing violence.
The summit was initiated and hosted by Egypt, with the hope of gathering support for peace and reigniting efforts to address the long-standing Paleostinian quest for statehood.
Unfortunately, the meeting concluded without leaders and foreign ministers agreeing on a joint statement.
This occurred two weeks into a conflict that has claimed the lives of thousands and resulted in a humanitarian crisis in the blockaded Gaza Strip, home to 2.3 million people.

, which had launched attacks on Israeli towns on October 7, causing the death of 1,400 people.

s and missile strikes had, by that point, resulted in the deaths of at least 4,385 Paleostinians since the Hamas attack.
While Arab and Moslem nations called for an immediate halt to Israel's offensive, Western countries generally focused on more modest objectives, such as providing humanitarian relief to civilians.
King Abdullah of Jordan decried what he described as global silence regarding Israel's attacks, which had led to the deaths of thousands in Hamas-ruled Gaza and left over a million people homeless. He called for a balanced approach to the Israeli-Paleostinian conflict.
"The message the Arab world is hearing is that Paleostinian lives matter less than Israeli ones," he said, adding he was outraged and grieved by acts of violence waged against innocent civilians in Gaza, the Israeli-occupied West Bank, and Israel.

said Paleostinians would not be displaced or driven off their land.
"We won't leave, we won't leave," he told the summit.
La Belle France called for a humanitarian corridor into Gaza that it said could lead to a ceasefire. Britannia and Germany both urged Israel's military to show restraint and Italia said it was important to avoid escalation.

[Regnum] German Foreign Minister Annalena Bärbock called for continuing the war against the Palestinian Hamas movement, but to do so taking into account the humanitarian situation.
| Ah, the omnipresent Yes, but... that means present your bare neck to the sword of the killers — you don’t get to fight back. |
She announced this at the summit in Cairo, her words were quoted by Der Spiegel magazine.
| That would be the summit Israel was not invited to. |
According to the German Foreign Minister, Hamas wants “greater escalation in the region” and rejects diplomatic ways to resolve the crisis.
“I call on everyone to stand up against terrorism... the war against Hamas must continue, but taking into account the humanitarian situation affecting the innocent men and women in the Gaza Strip,” she said.
| They voted Hamas into power, then did so again. |
Burbock added that the summit was unanimous that the Middle East region needs a new peace process that "will allow Palestinians and Jews to live side by side in peace and security in two independent states."
| And who, other than Israel, is going to bell that particular cat? |
As Regnum reported , on October 18, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that regardless of the escalation of the Middle East conflict, Russia stands for the creation of a sovereign Palestinian state with its capital in East Jerusalem.
| That’s nice. Except that Israel long ago made the united Jerusalem their capitol, so the so-called Palestinians are out of luck. |
He clarified that the Palestinian community must independently achieve its unity.
On October 20, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov announced Russia’s commitment to the decisions of the UN Security Council on the need to create the State of Palestine within the 1967 borders.
He stressed that these decisions have not been canceled.
Palestinians in the city of Hebron on October 21 held a rally against Israeli actions in the Gaza Strip with portraits of the Russian president and Russian flags. Protesters also carried a portrait of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

[Regnum] Russia calls on other countries to join forces to resolve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Deputy Russian Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov said on October 21, speaking at the peace summit in Cairo.
“Along with addressing the urgent tasks of ending the current spiral of violence, it is necessary to urgently begin to agree on a strategy of collective action for a political settlement of the conflict,” he said.
Bogdanov noted that US actions in the UN Security Council prevented the adoption of emergency measures to normalize the situation in the Middle East, as a result of which the escalation of the conflict continues and the number of civilian casualties continues to grow.
The peace summit in Cairo is being held on the initiative of Egyptian President Abdel Fattahaas-Sisi. The event was also attended by South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni , head of the Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas , foreign ministers of Japan, France, Germany and Great Britain and other European officials. No one arrived from the United States; the American side is represented by US Chargé d'Affaires in Egypt Beth Jones.
| And no one was invited from Israel. |
As Regnum reported, Russia's permanent representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya on October 18 accused a number of members of the UN Security Council of delaying the adoption of a peace resolution to resolve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. He noted that the Russian side proposed urgent measures that would avoid an increase in the number of victims, but they were blocked. Nebenzya emphasized that the document did not contain political assessments or even mention the parties to the conflict.
The conflict, which began on October 7 with a large-scale attack by the Palestinian Hamas movement on Israel, continues. Israeli army spokesman Avichai Adri said on October 21 that the Gaza Strip is under a total blockade. He added that the military operation will last as long as necessary.

for its massacres in southern Israel on October 7.
"It is unfortunate that even when faced with those horrific atrocities, there were some who had difficulty condemning terrorism or acknowledging the danger," a Foreign Ministry statement says.
"Israel will do what it has to do and expects the international community to recognize its justified battle," it adds.
Western delegates demanded “a clear condemnation placing responsibility for the escalation on Hamas” but Arab leaders refused, a diplomat tells AFP on condition of anonymity.
Instead the Egyptian hosts released a statement — drafted with the approval of Arab delegates — criticizing world leaders for seeking to “manage the conflict and not end it permanently.”
The statement says such “temporary solutions and palliatives… do not live up to even the lowest aspirations” of the Palestinian people.
