RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan discussed the situation in Gaza with his counterparts from Jordan, Egypt, and Morocco during separate phone calls on Saturday.

In the call with Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi, Prince Faisal discussed the dangerous developments in the situation in the Gaza Strip and its surroundings, the continued harm to unarmed civilians due to the escalation in Israeli military operations, and the importance of the international community playing its role in preventing the forced displacement of the people of Gaza.

The two ministers also discussed ways to intensify communication with international parties to put an end to the military escalation and enable the delivery of relief aid and medical equipment, in addition to finding a just and comprehensive solution that meets the aspirations of the Palestinian people.

Prince Faisal discussed similar matters during phone calls with Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry and Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita.
