… and modest outcomes
In reality, primarily based on the outcomes of the summit, it may be stated that its Arab individuals restricted themselves to statements, demonstrative condemnations and common settlement on the supply of help to the Gaza Strip. They failed to achieve consensus, take a firmer stance and collectively resort to severe motion to attain the targets of the occasion.
As well as, there are additionally important variations between the Arab international locations and the Western representatives who took half within the assembly, particularly on the problems of the ceasefire and the condemnation of the actions of Israel and Hamas. Some European leaders had beforehand refused to attend the summit as a result of variations over the Palestinian-Israeli battle.
Israel itself, by the way in which, didn’t take part within the occasion. “Israeli politicians have made it clear that Israel won’t take part in a regional summit on the continuing battle that is because of be held in Cairo on Saturday”the native newspaper Haaretz wrote earlier.
Andrey Baklanov notes that the presence of the UN and the group’s secretary common there performed an essential function in Tel Aviv’s refusal to take part within the assembly. “Israelis have all the time been very skeptical of this construction,” defined the professional.

Such pessimism was justified: within the night Sky Information Arabia reported that the individuals of the Cairo summit on Palestine didn’t undertake the ultimate assertion as a result of aforementioned disagreements.
This implies that the occasion will hardly have an opportunity to significantly have an effect on the additional course of occasions within the Center East. “The precise additional dynamics of the Palestinian-Israeli battle now rely largely on what determination the Israeli management will make,” notes Dolgov.
Getting ready for the worst
At the moment, judging by the occasions that passed off within the background of the assembly, the battle didn’t subside and the combatants continued to arrange for the worst consequence of the occasions.
On Saturday night, Israel Protection Forces (IDF) spokesman Avichai Adri introduced that Israel is implementing an entire blockade of the Gaza Strip. He defined that at present “nothing comes into the Palestinian enclave from Israeli territory”, together with water, electrical energy and drugs. Because the Israeli ambassador to Russia, Alexander Ben Zvi, reported, in the mean time the Israeli management doesn’t see an agenda for negotiations on Palestine.
The shock assault by Hamas was devastating to Tel Aviv’s status. “That is our 9/11” admitted Main Nir Dinar, spokesman for the IDF. “They stunned us. “
„With a view to rehabilitate itself within the eyes of Israeli public opinion, the Israeli management, it appears to me, will undertake a floor army operation, regardless of makes an attempt to seek out different strategies of resolving the battle.says Boris Dolgov.
In flip, the Lebanese motion Hezbollah continues to strike IDF army targets in northern Israel, and the Palestinian motion Hamas has shelled Israeli cities. Within the Gaza Strip itself, the humanitarian scenario continues to deteriorate.
Israel’s neighbors prioritize their very own issues. Specifically, each the Egyptian president and the king of Jordan are involved concerning the safety of their international locations as a result of potential displacement of the inhabitants from Gaza, which they opposed on the summit.
Sure, the Egyptian authorities, in fact, condemn Israel very, very a lot for the assaults on civilians, however they’re unwilling to open corridors for the motion of refugees from the Gaza Strip. The Jordanian authorities do the identical. Arab international locations won’t intervene extra actively on the facet of the Palestinians. Protests and feedback on social networks hardly hassle Tel Aviv.
On the eve of the assembly, Turkish Overseas Minister Hakan Fidan stated that “if it isn’t potential to make sure lasting peace, then the choice can be very dangerous – large-scale battle and instability within the area” .
