- Prince Faisal urged the international community to fulfill its responsibilities regarding the Israeli war in Gaza
RIYADH: Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan presided over a preparatory meeting of Arab foreign ministers on Thursday in Riyadh, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
The meeting came ahead of the extraordinary session of the Arab summit on the Israeli violence in Gaza, which is scheduled for Saturday.
Prince Faisal urged the international community, including the UN’s Security Council, to fulfill its responsibilities by establishing a ceasefire, providing civil protection, releasing hostages and prisoners, and halting the forced displacement of Palestinians, in accordance with international law.
The Saudi foreign minister also called for the lifting of the siege on Gaza and the delivery of relief and medical aid without restrictions and in a sustainable manner to alleviate the humanitarian catastrophe that has claimed the lives of innocent people — more than half of whom are women and children — and which threatens regional and global security and stability.
He added that the Saudi aid agency KSrelief had launched a donation campaign through the Sahem platform to provide relief to the Palestinian people in Gaza, and that the Kingdom would spare no effort in attempting to alleviate the human suffering of the Palestinian people.
Prince Faisal said that the Arab world must not lose sight of the goal of establishing a Palestinian state according to 1967 borders and with East Jerusalem as its capital.
He added that the Kingdom was keen on consulting and coordinating with international allies to find a solution to the crisis.
