Rare alignment between Western democracies (France, Spain, Brazil) and traditional U.S. allies (Saudi Arabia, Egypt) with Turkey and OIC, suggesting erosion of Israel's diplomatic support base. Arab states' participation indicates potential shift from Abraham Accords normalization toward Palestinian cause prioritization. Turkey's leadership role reinforces its regional influence.
