Riyadh: In a statement marking the International Day for Tolerance, observed annually on November 16, Arab Parliament Speaker Mohammed Ahmed Al Yamahi stressed the critical need to uphold the values of tolerance and peaceful coexistence, at national, regional, and international levels, particularly in an era marked by growing global conflicts. According to Saudi Press Agency, Al Yamahi highlighted the dire conditions faced by the Palestinian people. He described their suffering over the past year, brought about by a "genocide and brutal massacres unprecedented in history", and criticized the international community's silence on these atrocities, which, he warned, fuels fanaticism and hatred, and undermines the principle of tolerance. Al Yamahi urged the international community, particularly global institutions, to fulfill their moral, humanitarian, political, and legal responsibilities by taking immediate action to halt these massacres. He called for renewed efforts to protect humanity and preserve the val ues of tolerance that are being systematically violated by Israeli occupation forces in Palestine and Lebanon.
