Global business and political leaders focused on dialogue, democracy and development in the Middle East, although three major players - Iran, Hamas and Syria - were absent, leaving the talks nearly rancor-free but with a hollow ring.

The forum, however, did succeed in bringing Palestinian and Israeli leaders together for the first time since the Islamic militants of Hamas won Palestinian elections in January.
