Israeli President Isaac Herzog called for increased cooperation between Israel and Asian nations during the seventh Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia (CICA) summit in Baku, Azerbaijan, on Thursday. During his address, representatives from Iran, Turkey, Kuwait, Pakistan, and the Palestinian Authority walked out of the hall. The Emir of Qatar, however, remained to listen to the speech. "Israel wishes and strives to strengthen collaboration and expand the circle of peace," Herzog stated. "But peace cannot exist with terrorism, and cooperation cannot thrive with boycotts."
