The joint statement issued following the "Cairo Peace Summit" held in Cairo on October 21, condemned individual or collective forced displacement, as well as the policy of collective punishment. It emphasized that the absence of a political solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has led to repeated acts of violence and suffering for the Palestinian and Israeli people and the people of the region in general, stressing the importance of the international community, especially the Security Council, to assume its responsibilities in order to achieve peace in the Middle East.
