As the Israel-Hamas conflict continues, delegations from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, and Palestine, along with Indonesia’s Foreign Minister, gather in Beijing for a two-day Middle East summit hosted by China. Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud asserts their presence in Beijing aims to send a “clear signal” to stop the fighting, halt killings, and deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza.
Riyad al-Maliki, Palestinian Authority’s Foreign Minister, accuses Israel of seeking to eradicate the presence of Palestinians. Egypt states that Israel is following a “systematic policy” obstructing humanitarian aid to Gaza. The summit, part of China’s efforts for regional peace, addresses critical issues amid the ongoing conflict.
