Saudi Minister of Foreign Affairs Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah received on Monday a telephone call from Denmark's' Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen.

The ministers discussed the development of the continuing military escalation in Gaza and its surroundings.

They tackled the need to find suitable ways to defuse the tension and stop the ongoing escalation in the region.

They also discussed the importance of intensifying communication with the international community through bilateral and multilateral relations to reach a just and equitable solution that meets the aspirations of the Palestinian people, mitigating the repercussions of the crisis to help protect civilians, and allowing the delivery of relief aid and medical equipment to ease the humanitarian disaster and prevent its aggravation.

They also reviewed bilateral relations and ways to boost them to serve the aspirations of their countries, in addition to several issues of common interest.

Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani said on Thursday the crisis in the Middle East is a "collective genocide," and that establishing a Palestinian State is the only way to ensure peace in the region.
"It has become crystal clear that what is happening is genocide", he said during the Asia Cooperation Dialogue summit in Doha.
The Emir emphasized that there can be no peace in the region without the establishment of a Palestinian state.
The Qatari Emir also condemned Israeli air strikes and military operations "against the brotherly Lebanese Republic".
Israel launched an assault a year ago on the Gaza Strip after Hamas militants attacked southern Israeli towns. 
This week, Israel launched a ground incursion in Lebanon against Hezbollah, which has been firing into Israel in what it says is solidarity with the Palestinians.
