Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud has directed that the additional assistance granted to beneficiaries of the Citizen Account Program be extended for two more months, until September 2023, and that registration for the program be kept open.

The royal order is upon the recommendation of Prince Mohammed bin Salma n bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince, Prime Minister and Chairman of the Council of Economic and Development Affairs.

The Citizen Account Program was created to protect Saudi households from the impact of global price hikes.

A royal directive was issued in July 2022 to allocate additional financial support to the beneficiaries of the Citizen Account Program until the end of the fiscal year 2022. Later, this period was extended and the registration for the program was kept open until July 2023 as per the royal directives issued in January and April 2023, SPA reported.

Saudi Arabia Condemns Israeli Closure of UNRWA Schools in Jerusalem

Saudi Arabia Condemns Israeli Closure of UNRWA Schools in Jerusalem

Saudi Arabia expressed the strongest condemnation of the closure orders issued by Israeli authorities against six schools operated by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) in East Jerusalem, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Saturday.
The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs reaffirmed in a statement the Kingdom’s unequivocal rejection of the Israeli occupation authorities’ ongoing intransigence and systematic targeting of UNRWA, and humanitarian and relief efforts—particularly in light of the continued silence from the international community.
The Ministry urged the international community to fulfill its responsibilities in the face of Israel’s ongoing violations against the Palestinian people, emphasizing that silence in the face of such actions only exacerbates the crisis and further undermines prospects for a just and lasting peace in the region.
