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.
Khalil Al-Hayya, the Hamas chief who met U.S. envoy Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump's son-in-law, in Egypt on Sunday, emerged as a pivotal figure in the Palestinian militant group during the Gaza war as Israel killed its other leaders.
Israel bombed an airbase in Syria on Tuesday, Syrian state media said, carrying out what appeared to be its first strike on Syrian government assets since March and drawing condemnation from Turkey and criticism from a U.S. envoy who called it an "unnecessary escalation".
Donald Trump's envoy and son-in-law Jared Kushner left Jerusalem on Monday without a breakthrough after two days of talks with Israeli and Hamas leaders over a stalled U.S. plan to end the war in Gaza, with both sides standing firm on key demands.
