The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs voiced the Kingdom’s strong condemnation of Wednesday’s burning of a copy of the Holy Quran by an extremist at Stockholm Central Mosque in Sweden following Eid al-Adha prayer.

"These hateful and repeated acts cannot be accepted with any justification, as they clearly incite hatred, exclusion, and racism, and directly contradict international efforts seeking to spread the values of tolerance, moderation, and rejection of extremism”, the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

The statement added that similar acts only “undermine the necessary mutual respect for relations between peoples and states.”

Saudi Arabia strongly condemned on Tuesday Israel’s targeting of a makeshift displacement camp in Mawasi in Gaza.

“This is yet another instance of violent attacks of unarmed civilians by the Israeli war machine,” said the Saudi Foreign Ministry in a statement.

The Kingdom reiterated its “categorical rejection of continued Israeli genocide, and called for an immediate ceasefire.”

It held the Israeli forces “fully responsible for the continued violation of all international and humanitarian norms and laws.”

It emphasized the “legal, humanitarian and moral responsibility of the international community to activate international accountability mechanisms and put an end to these ongoing violations of international law and resolutions by Israeli forces.”

An Israeli strike hit a crowded Palestinian tent camp early Tuesday in Gaza, killing at least 19 people and wounding 60, Palestinian officials said.

The overnight strike occurred in Mawasi, a sprawl of crowded tent camps along the Gaza coast that Israel designated as a humanitarian zone for hundreds of thousands of displaced civilians to seek shelter from the nearly year-old Israel-Hamas war.
