Muslim countries seem to be getting ready to compromise with Israel on America’s initiative.
Saudi Arabia hosts Arab diplomats for talks on Gaza following US Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s visit.
According to the report, during this discussion, four top Middle Eastern diplomats reiterated the need to take steps to maintain the recognition of Palestine.
The meeting was held on Thursday following Blinken’s visit to the Middle East. This was his 5th visit to the Middle East since the outbreak of the war in Gaza.
The meeting was attended by the foreign ministers of Egypt, Qatar, United Arab Emirates and Jordan. A senior Palestinian official was also present.
At the meeting of Muslim countries, ministers stressed ending the war in the Gaza Strip, immediately imposing a ceasefire, ensuring the protection of civilians under international humanitarian law and lifting sanctions that hinder humanitarian aid.
It is known that Joe Biden is going to host the King of Jordan next week to discuss the Gaza crisis.
The US President will meet with Jordan’s King Abdullah II in Washington next week to find a solution to the Israeli bombing of Gaza. The two leaders will discuss the current situation in Gaza and efforts for a permanent solution to the crisis.
13 people died in attacks in Gaza
Meanwhile, 13 people were killed in Israeli air strikes in Rafah in the Gaza Strip. President Joe Biden described Israel’s military action in Gaza as unbelievable.
He said that he is continuously working to put pressure on Israel and Hamas for a ceasefire in the war. More than half the population of the Gaza Strip has moved to Rafah, a city bordering Egypt.
Much of its border is restricted and it is the main entry point for humanitarian aid.
Egypt warned that any ground action here or mass displacement across the border would undermine its 40-year-old peace treaty with Israel.
More than 27,000 Palestinians were killed in Israel’s four-month long air and ground attacks. Israeli attacks forced most people to flee their homes. One fourth of the population has been pushed towards starvation.
