On the 21st (local time), Arab leaders attending the peace summit held in Cairo, Egypt, condemned Israel's airstrikes on the Gaza Strip. Ant?nio Guterres, the UN Secretary-General, called for an immediate ceasefire.

King Abdullah II of Jordan pointed out at the peace summit, "The Arab world is hearing the message that Palestinian lives are less important than Israeli lives." He added, "We feel anger and sorrow over the acts of violence committed against innocent civilians in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank of Jordan, and other areas."

He added, "Our message to Israel is that 'we want a future of peace and security for both Israel and Palestine.'"

The Palestinian armed group Hamas and Israel have been engaged in conflict since the 7th. Representatives from various countries gathered in Cairo to resolve the conflict.

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi opposed the relocation of Palestinian residents to Egypt's Sinai region in his speech. He emphasized, "Egypt believes that the solution to the Palestinian issue is not relocation," and added, "It is about enabling Palestinians to enjoy their rightful rights and live in an independent state."

At the peace summit, Ant?nio Guterres stated, "In the Gaza Strip, home to about 2.4 million people, over 1 million have been displaced, causing a humanitarian crisis." He urged for a ceasefire.

On the same day, 20 trucks carrying relief supplies were delivered to the Gaza Strip through the Rafah crossing in northern Egypt. Secretary-General Guterres emphasized, "More aid must be provided swiftly to prevent the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip."
