"Arab Leaders Unite in Anger at Israel's Gaza War at Cairo Peace Summit"

At a peace summit in Cairo, Egypt and Jordan expressed their anger towards Israel over its actions in Gaza, with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi rejecting any talk of driving Palestinians into the Sinai Peninsula and warning against the "liquidation of the Palestinian cause." Jordan's King Abdullah II called Israel's siege and bombardment of Gaza a "war crime." The speeches reflect growing anger in the region, even among those with close ties to Israel, as the war enters its third week with casualties mounting and no end in sight. Egypt is particularly concerned about a massive influx of Palestinians crossing into its territory, while Israel's vague remarks and orders for evacuation have alarmed its neighbors.
