Manama: Saudi Cabinet repeated on Tuesday the kingdom’s stance towards the Palestinian cause, saying that it is a fundamental Arab issue, and it has not hesitated to defend the cause.
In an online meeting chaired by King Salman, the cabinet said the Palestinian cause remains on the top of the issues it supports in its foreign policy. The kingdom also reiterated its commitment to backing the strategic choice for peace and its adherence to 2002 Arab Peace Initiative.
The Cabinet, in its statement to the Saudi Press Agency, also stressed “on the importance of Israel to halt building settlements on Palestinian lands, as it constitutes a flagrant violation of international law and a hindrance to achieving lasting and comprehensive peace.”
The Cabinet also restated its condemnation of the Iranian-backed Houthi militia's continuous launching of missiles and drones towards Saudi, targeting residential areas and civilian objects, systematically and deliberately, which is a blatant violation of international and humanitarian laws.
