“We won’t leave our land,” said Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in his opening remarks at the summit of leaders from the Middle East and Europe in Cairo, Egypt, convened to discuss the de-escalation of the Israel-Gaza war.

The Palestinian President stressed that Palestinians would not be forced off their land.”We will never accept relocation, we will remain on our land whatever the challenges,” he said, as reported by the BBC.

The meeting, which is called a Summit for Peace, also includes officials from Jordan, Qatar, Italy, Spain, the EU and UK. But, key notable absentees include Israel, the US and Iran.
