Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Cairo said there were reports of a dispute between the Arab and Western delegations at the "Cairo Peace Summit" that hindered reaching a closing statement.

Our correspondent explained that among the points of disagreement was the Western delegations’ refusal to demand a ceasefire or hold “Israel” responsible for “civilian deaths” across the Gaza Strip.

Moreover, the correspondent added that Western delegations also rejected the call to permanently open the Rafah border crossing.

There were also reports of efforts made by Western delegations to make sure that no final statement is issued in the first place by the Summit.
