Minister of Foreign Affairs Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah made on Thursday a telephone call with his Swiss counterpart, Ignazio Cassis.
During the call, they discussed the latest developments in Gaza and its surroundings, as Prince Faisal stressed the importance of stopping all forms of targeting civilians in that region and the commitment of all conflicting parties to what is stipulated in international humanitarian law.
The Saudi Foreign Minister urged the Swiss Confederation, in its role as a non-permanent member of the Security Council, to work to ensure that the council fulfills its responsibility to maintain international peace and security, including pushing for an immediate cessation of ongoing military operations and lifting the siege on the Gaza Strip.
The Minister stressed the importance of the council’s work to implement its decisions regarding the Palestinian issue, specifically Resolutions No. 242 (1967), No. 338 (1973), No. 1515 (2003), and No. 2334 (2016), in order to establish a just and comprehensive solution to the Palestinian issue in a way that achieves the aspirations of the Palestinian people.
