The final statement condemns Israel. This is not a surprise
Russia-Arab ministers stressed on Wednesday in Marrakesh the need to guarantee the safety and security of maritime traffic in the Gulf and the Red Sea in a final communique by the Russia-Arab Cooperation forum.
The ministers condemned "acts that target the security and safety of maritime traffic and facilities, energy supplies, oil pipelines and facilities," they said after the forum was held in Marrakech.
They also "strongly condemned the Israeli aggressive war" on Palestinians in Gaza and rejected justifying it as self-defense, the communique added.
An apparent drone attack - claimed by the Iranian-backed Houthi militia - hit central Tel Aviv in the early hours of Friday, killing one man and slightly wounding four others, the Israeli military and emergency services said.
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant told his U.S. counterpart that military operations in the Gaza Strip have created conditions that would enable a hostage deal to be reached, Gallant's office said on Wednesday.
Denmark's A.P. Moller-Maersk said on Wednesday that disruption to its container shipping via the Red Sea had extended beyond trade routes between the Far East and Europe to its entire global network.
