They want renewed efforts to reach a peace settlement in the Middle East.
CAIRO: Arab leaders condemned Israel’s two-week-old bombardment of Gaza today and demanded renewed efforts to reach a Middle East peace settlement to end a decades-long cycle of violence between Israelis and Palestinians.
“The Israeli leadership must realise once and for all that a state can never thrive if it is built on a foundation of injustice … Our message to the Israelis should be that we want a future of peace and security for you and the Palestinians.” The absence of a top official from Israel’s main ally the US and some other major western leaders has cooled expectations for what the hastily-convened event can achieve.
In his speech Egyptian president Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said his country opposed what he called the displacement of Palestinians into Egypt’s Sinai region. Egypt’s position reflects Arab fears that Palestinians could again flee or be forced from their homes en masse, as they were during the war surrounding Israel’s creation in 1948.
Egypt has said little about the aims of the gathering, beyond its presidency’s Oct 15 statement that the summit would cover recent developments involving the crisis in Gaza and the future of the Palestinian issue.
