The Saudi government stressed on Tuesday that the Kingdom will continue to play its historic and pioneering role in supporting the Palestinian people.

This includes launching a popular donation campaign to help the people in Gaza and maintain contacts with regional and international parties with the aim of reaching an immediate ceasefire and return to the peace process so that a just and comprehensive solution can be reached to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz chaired the cabinet meeting that was held in Riyadh.

The cabinet followed up on the developments in Gaza and the surrounding regions.

The ministers were briefed on talks held between Saudi Arabia and several countries with the aim of consolidating cooperation to elevate ties and serve common interests.

The cabinet praised the Kingdom’s holding of high-level specialized international events whose outcomes are in line with national goals for vital fields.

These events included the Global Health Exhibition and the Global Cybersecurity Forum, both hosted in Riyadh, during which agreements and memoranda of understanding were signed and discussions were held to achieve a sustainable and prosperous future for these two sectors and boost their roles in economic and social development.
