Saudi Arabia continued to deliver aid to the devastated Gaza Strip with the eighth and ninth planes loaded with relief landing in Egypt’s al-Arish on Friday ahead of their delivery to the coastal enclave.

The planes, flown out by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief), were carrying six ambulances out of 20 that will be sent to Gaza.

The aid is part of a popular donation campaign launched by Saudi Arabia to aid the Palestinian people in Gaza. The campaign was ordered by Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz and Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, reflecting Saudi Arabia’s historic role in standing with the Palestinians throughout various crises and plights.

Palestine Red Crescent Society director general Marwan Jilani expressed his gratitude to the Saudi leadership and people for their noble humanitarian role and efforts to support the Palestinian people.

The KSrelief team underscored Saudi Arabia’s determination to ensure that the aid is delivered to those in need in Gaza to help ease their suffering.

Saudi Arabia strongly condemned on Thursday the repeated Iranian attacks on Jordan, Bahrain and Kuwait, and the continued violations of their sovereignty which “escalate tensions in the region.”

A Foreign Ministry statement called for “de-escalation, the avoidance of any further escalation, and the exercise of wisdom by returning to diplomatic engagement and continuing the constructive negotiations” sponsored by Pakistan, along with the efforts exerted by Qatar.

Such a move “spares the region and its people the consequences of the return of war and contributes to the restoration of security and stability in the region and the world,” the statement added.

Permanent Representative of Saudi Arabia to the United Nations Dr. Abdulaziz Alwasil affirmed the centrality of the Palestinian cause for the Arab world, saying achieving a just, comprehensive, and lasting peace in the Middle East requires ending the Israeli occupation and enabling the Palestinian people to exercise their inalienable right to self-determination.

In a statement delivered on behalf of the Arab Group during a high-level Security Council meeting on the Middle East, Alwasil also referred to recent Iranian attacks targeting several Gulf states and Jordan, describing them as violations of the principles of good neighborliness, international law, and the United Nations Charter.

He stressed the need to respect state sovereignty and avoid actions that threaten regional security and stability.

He further condemned the continued Israeli aggression against Lebanon, reaffirming rejection of any violation of Lebanon’s sovereignty or targeting of its army, and stressing the importance of complying with international resolutions and respecting states’ sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Alwasil also denounced repeated Israeli incursions and attacks on Syrian territory, stressing the Arab Group’s rejection of such violations, which undermine Syria’s sovereignty and threaten regional security and stability.

He emphasized the importance of political solutions, dialogue, and mediation as the most effective means of addressing regional crises and resolving conflicts peacefully, thereby contributing to security, stability, and development for the peoples of the Middle East.
