Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan received Friday a call from US Secretary of State Antony Blinken to discuss a range of bilateral and regional issues, according to two separate statements from Washington and Riyadh.

“Blinken thanked Saudi Arabia for bringing together over 40 countries in Jeddah earlier this month to discuss the principles of a just and lasting peace in Ukraine,” said US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller.

The Secretary and Foreign Minister resolved to continue to work together to end the devastating conflict in Sudan, he stated.

“They also committed to redouble efforts to secure a lasting peace in Yemen through a UN-mediated Yemeni-Yemeni peace process,” Miller added.

Also, during the phone call, Prince bin Frarhan and Blinken tackled developments in Sudan, with both sides citing the importance of stopping the military escalation between the conflicting parties, ending violence and reducing tensions to ensure the security and stability of Sudan and its people, SPA reported.

The two sides then discussed intensifying coordination and bilateral work on many regional and international issues, foremost of which is the promotion of security and stability in the Middle East region and the efforts being exerted by the two allied countries to lay the foundations for peace in the region and the world at large.

MWL Welcomes UN Co-Chairs' Statement on Palestinian Question and Two-State Solution

The Muslim World League (MWL) welcomed the statement issued by the Co-Chairs of the United Nations High-Level International Conference on the Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine and the Implementation of the Two-State Solution, represented by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the French Republic.
In a statement from the League’s General Secretariat, MWL Secretary-General and Chairman of the Organization of Muslim Scholars Sheikh Dr. Mohammed Al-Issa reaffirmed the League and the Islamic world’s appreciation for the pivotal and significant momentum generated by the international coalition, led by Saudi Arabia, to implement the two-state solution.

He noted that this conference was one of the important outcomes of these efforts, alongside the coalition’s remarkable diplomatic achievements in a short time, which have pushed the international community toward a legitimate and responsible stance aligned with the legal and human rights of the Palestinian people, SPA reported.

Dr. Al-Issa also expressed regret over the ongoing escalation and recent developments in the region that led to the suspension of this historic conference, which had been widely anticipated as a step toward a peaceful settlement of the Palestinian question, the implementation of the two-state solution, and an end to the prolonged suffering of the Palestinian people and the humanitarian tragedy facing civilians in Gaza.

He praised the statement’s reaffirmation of unwavering support for all efforts aimed at ending the war in Gaza and achieving a just and sustainable resolution to the Palestinian question through the implementation of the two-state solution.
