Saudi Minister of Foreign Affairs Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah made a phone call Friday with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi.

Prince Faisal praised China’s support for the United Nations General Assembly resolution issued on October 27, which calls for an immediate ceasefire and establishing an urgent humanitarian truce in the besieged Gaza Strip.

The officials discussed developments in Gaza and its surroundings amid the ongoing military escalation and the harm to innocent civilians.

They emphasized the importance of the international community taking responsibility for halting all military activities and returning to a just and comprehensive path to peace for the Palestinians to achieve international security and peace.

They reviewed bilateral relations and ways to boost them to meet the aspirations of their countries.

The Arab Parliament welcomed Spain's request to join the lawsuit filed by South Africa against the Israeli occupation before the International Court of Justice. The lawsuit aims to try Israel for the genocidal war and massacres committed against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and the occupied Palestinian territories since last October, according to SPA.
In a statement, the Arab Parliament stated that Spain’s participation in this lawsuit represents a victory for the voice of truth and law, and strengthens international justice in prosecuting and holding war criminals accountable for the crimes of ethnic cleansing committed against the Palestinian people.
The Arab Parliament emphasized that this step reflects the world's growing awareness of the racist and criminal nature of the occupation entity. They urged countries worldwide to join this lawsuit and abandon the state of shameful silence regarding the crimes and massacres committed by the Israeli occupation in the Gaza Strip and the occupied Palestinian territories.
