‘THE DIFFICULT THINGS ARE DIFFICULT TO OVERCOME’

On the other hand, Israel’s failure to send a representative raised questions about the success of the summit. The US, which supported Israel in the war, is also represented at the summit with its charge d’affaires in Egypt.

Sources who spoke to Reuters said it was difficult for a joint statement to come out of the summit due to disagreements over controversial issues such as “Hamas’s attack on Israel and Israel’s right to protect itself.”
