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.

Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi strongly condemned on Saturday Israel for striking the Al-Jaouni school of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) in the Nuseirat camp in Gaza.

In a statement, Albudaiwi stressed that the brutal and ongoing attacks by the Israeli forces against Palestinian civilians in Gaza and other Palestinian territories, and their direct targeting of refugee camps, “are a flagrant violation of international laws and humanitarian treaties.”

He described these acts as “war crimes that reflect Israel’s criminal behavior, in complete disregard of legal, moral, and humanitarian values.”

Albudaiwi called on the international community, including all states and organizations, “to take immediate and serious action to implement a ceasefire, stop the dangerous Israeli military operations, and hold those responsible for these violations accountable.”

He also underlined the “firm position of the GCC states in supporting the just Palestinian cause and making all efforts to protect the Palestinian people from the brutality and criminal behavior of the Israeli forces.”
