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.
Israeli forces killed four people in southern Lebanon on Monday, Lebanon's National News Agency reported, citing the health ministry, in two separate strikes that the Israeli military said targeted members of the Shi'ite Muslim armed group Hezbollah.
Israel has taken steps to help settlers acquire land in the occupied West Bank and widen its powers in parts of the territory where Palestinians have some self-rule - measures they said aimed to undermine the two-state solution.
It’s a regional cliché, and like most clichés, it exists for a reason. Israelis have a reputation for being… enthusiastic drivers. Not necessarily careful ones.
