Arab governments emphasized this week that a main cause of instability in the region — the decades-old Israeli-Palestinian conflict — must be resolved.

The truce promised to bring an end to a 12-day conflict that saw the U.S. strike Iranian nuclear facilities, and ballistic missiles fired at Israeli cities.

Arab governments, especially in the gulf, had once taken a hawkish line toward Iran but now worry U.S. strikes could upend regional stability and hurt business.
