Representatives from Algiers, Iraq, Syria, Saudi Arabia, China, Indonesia, Turkey and Pakistan, among several other countries, are taking part in the conference.
 
The meeting comes as Israel’s atrocious war against the Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip is in its fourth month now.

Since the beginning of the Israeli onslaughts on October 7, over two million Palestinians have been forcibly displaced.
