"Failed Cairo summit highlights growing divide between Arabs and the West over Gaza conflict"

The Cairo Summit for Peace, aimed at achieving a ceasefire in Gaza, exposed deep divisions between Arab and Western states on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. While both sides agreed on the need for aid to reach Palestinians in Gaza, they failed to find common ground on other issues, such as condemning Israel or placing responsibility for the escalation on Hamas. The meeting ended without a concluding statement, highlighting the "dialogue of the deaf" between the two sides. The summit underscored the persistent fault lines between the West and the Arab world, with anti-Israel sentiment remaining strong despite recent diplomatic ties between Arab states and Israel. The ongoing conflict has led to mass protests and calls for solidarity with Palestinians across the Arab world.
