Lack of Unity among Arab and Islamic States on Gaza Issue
Despite the appearance of unity, the recent summit of Arab and Islamic leaders revealed divergent views on the Gaza conflict. While there was consensus on the need for humanitarian aid and a ceasefire, some Arab states, like Algeria, called for broader boycotts of Israel, while others, like Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia, considered themselves more moderate and sought to provide aid and play a role in a political settlement. The unity displayed at the summit may not reflect the underlying divergences among Arab states.
