The Gaza war is expected to be a key point of discussion at a Saudi-hosted special meeting of the World Economic Forum today. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Palestinian leaders and high-ranking officials from several countries trying to broker a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas are on the guest list for the summit in Riyadh. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and several international officials will be attending talks aimed at pushing for a peace agreement in Gaza to be held on the sidelines of the meeting, the WEF’s president Borge Brende said on Saturday.
