Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Jassem Mohamed Al-Budaiwi expressed on Monday strong condemnation of the continued Israeli violations against the Palestinian people, the latest of which was the attack on the Jenin camp.

Al-Budaiwi said the Israeli forces' attack on the Jenin camp are a flagrant violation of international conventions and laws and hamper efforts to launch a peace process to resolve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

He stressed the need for immediate international intervention to end the brutal Israeli attacks and repression.

Moreover, he reiterated his call on the international community to intervene urgently and swiftly to revive efforts to allow the Palestinian people to gain their legitimate right to establish their state within the pre-1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.

The Saudi Interior Ministry has called on pilgrims to follow the designated paths that connect each area where rituals are performed.

An Interior Ministry spokesman said on Friday that the security forces continue to perform their duties in protecting the pilgrims and ensuring their safety as they carry out the sacred rituals.

For pilgrims seeking to depart on the second day of Tashreeq, he urged them to remain in their tents until their departure times.

He underscored the Interior Ministry’s continued security and organizational efforts to ensure the safety of the pilgrims as they complete their holy journey.
