Saudi Arabia has condemned in the strongest terms the “inhumane” Israeli airstrike on Jabalia camp in the Gaza Strip.

"The Kingdom expresses its condemnation and complete rejection of the Israeli occupation forces’ repeated targeting of densely populated areas,” the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.

It described such attacks as a flagrant violation of international laws and international humanitarian law.

It said the international community had “failed to pressure the occupation government to accept an immediate ... ceasefire, and a humanitarian truce in line with the resolution of the United Nations General Assembly issued with an overwhelming majority last Friday."

The Kingdom affirmed that “the dangerous humanitarian conditions resulting from the continuous escalation cannot be justified at all, and that sparing blood, protecting civilians, and stopping military operations are urgent priorities for which any procrastination or disruption cannot be accepted.”

“Failure to immediately adhere to them will inevitably lead to a humanitarian catastrophe for which the Israeli occupation and the international community bear responsibility,” the statement added.

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman praised on Wednesday US President Donald Trump’s decision to lift sanctions on Syria.

“We commend the decision made yesterday by President Trump to lift the sanctions on the brotherly Syrian Arab Republic, which will alleviate the suffering of the Syrian people,” he said in his opening speech at the GCC-US summit in Riyadh.

The Crown Prince also said that Gulf states were seeking to work with the US to de-escalate tensions in the region.

“We are aware of the magnitude of the challenges facing our region and we strive with you and with our GCC brothers to deescalate tensions in the region and to stop the war in Gaza and to find a permanent and comprehensive solution for the Palestinian crisis,” he said, addressing Trump.

“We stress our support to ending conflicts through peaceful means,” he added.
