Saudi Arabia Condemns Israeli Prime Minister’s Statements on Palestinian Displacement

Riyadh: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's strongest condemnation of the repeated statements by the Israeli occupation prime minister regarding the displacement of Palestinians from their land, including through the Rafah border crossing, and the continued use of blockade and starvation to impose forced displacement, in flagrant violation of international laws, principles, and the most basic humanitarian standards. The ministry affirmed the Kingdom's full support for Egypt in this regard. According to Saudi Press Agency, the Kingdom stressed the necessity for the international community, especially the permanent members of the UN Security Council, to intervene to halt Israel's aggressive policies against the Palestinian people and their land. The Kingdom reiterated its rejection of any form of displacement, regardless of justification, and renewed its call to hold the occupation authorities accountable for genocide and grave violations against civilians. It further emphas ized the urgent need to put an immediate end to such practices, provide protection for the Palestinian people, and fulfill their legitimate rights in establishing an independent Palestinian state on the 1967 borders with east Jerusalem as its capital, as the path to ensuring the security and stability of the region.
