The Saudi government followed up on Tuesday on the Kingdom’s diplomatic efforts to push the international community to assume its responsibilities to stop the military operations in Gaza and allow relief organization to deliver urgent humanitarian aid to civilians.

The efforts have also pushed for reaching a just and comprehensive solution to the conflict that meets the aspirations of the brotherly Palestinian people.

Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, chaired the cabinet meeting that was held in Riyadh.

The ministers were briefed on the telephone call he received from US President Joe Biden. The Crown Prince underlined Saudi Arabia’s position on the developments in Gaza.

The cabinet highlighted the resumption of talks in Jeddah between representatives of the Sudanese Armed Forces and Rapid Support Forces. The talks are being facilitated by Saudi Arabia and the United States in partnership with the African Union and Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD).

The cabinet hoped that the talks would be a positive step forward towards ending the conflict and reaching an agreement that would establish security and stability in Sudan.

The cabinet reviewed the major events and economic activities hosted by the Kingdom in recent days, praising the success of the 7th Edition of the Future Investment Initiative (FII) and its achievements, notably the launch of investments worth over $17 billion.

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.
