Protests have erupted across the Middle East in response to the ongoing Israel-Hamas war. After a blast at a Gaza hospital, protesters in the West Bank and Jordan expressed anger towards their leaders for failing to stop the violence. Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, Jordan's King Abdullah II, and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas canceled a planned summit with US President Joe Biden. The US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, had been meeting with Arab leaders to de-escalate tensions, but these efforts are now in doubt. The protests highlight the deep-rooted anger and frustration over decades of Palestinian suffering.
