A statement from the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Friday confirmed the Kingdom's firm rejection of calls for the forced displacement of Palestinians from Gaza and condemned the ongoing targeting of unarmed civilians there. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the Kingdom has reiterated its demand for the international community to swiftly act to halt all forms of military escalation against civilians, prevent a humanitarian disaster, and provide necessary relief and medical supplies for the residents of Gaza. It emphasized that depriving them of these basic necessities for a dignified life constitutes a violation of international humanitarian law and will exacerbate the depth of the crisis and suffering in the region.
The Ministry also called for lifting the siege on the brothers in Gaza, evacuating injured civilians, adhering to international laws and norms, and advancing the peace process in accordance with Security Council and UN resolutions, as well as the Arab Peace Initiative, which aims to find a just and comprehensive solution and establish an independent Palestinian state within the borders of 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
