Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit reflects on the complex Arab-Israeli relations, stating the necessity of dialogue for peace despite ongoing violence in Gaza. The recent Israeli offensive has resulted in significant casualties, highlighting the urgency for diplomatic efforts. Gheit notes that only five member states have formal ties with Israel and calls for unity among Arab nations. He recently participated in an international meeting in Madrid focused on a two-State solution and the need to halt violence against Palestinians, indicating a growing recognition of Palestine among participating countries.
The purpose of the meeting was to prepare for the conference on a two-State solution for Israel and Palestine... discussions focused on calling for an end to the killings.
Only five of the 22 Arab League states maintain diplomatic relations with Israel; none have broken them off over Gaza.
Gheit justifies this by arguing the need to talk to the Israelis to achieve peace.
...countries such as the United Kingdom, Italy, and France participated for the first time, and the Maltese Foreign Minister even announced the recognition of Palestine.
