Iran Press/ West Asia: Arab leaders condemned Israel's two-week-old bombardment of Gaza on Saturday and demanded renewed efforts to reach a Middle East peace settlement after decades of illegal occupation of Palestinian territory.
The International Peace Summit hosted by the Egyptian president in Cairo on October 21, 2023, amid the ongoing agression of Israeli forces against Palestinians. Thousands of people in Palestine have died so far.
Jordan's King Abdullah denounced what he termed global silence about Israel's attacks, which have killed thousands in Hamas-ruled Gaza and made over a million homeless, and urged an even-handed approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Abdullah was addressing leaders from more than a dozen Arab and Western countries and representatives of the European Union and various international organizations attending the summit that was called by Egypt earlier last week to discuss ways to de-escalate the war in Gaza.
Furthermore, King Abdullah II emphasized the need for the continuous delivery of vital humanitarian aid while steadfastly rejecting any displacement of Palestinians out of Palestine. 219
