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.
Ground fighting between the Israeli Defense Forces and Hezbollah continued through the night of Saturday to Sunday in South Lebanon, with the most intense clashes concentrated in the eastern sector of the border, particularly around the towns of Taybeh and Khiam.
U.S. President Donald Trump and Iran threatened to escalate their war, targeting energy and fuel facilities in the Gulf, which could again roil global energy and financial markets and deepen a regional crisis.
Around 59 people were wounded - most lightly - by Iranian missile strikes on Dimona in southern Israel, according to Israeli emergency services Magen David Adom, as reported by multiple Israeli media outlets.
