Saudi Minister of Foreign Affairs Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah held talks on Monday with his Italian counterpart Antonio Tajani on the sidelines of the Union for the Mediterranean Regional Forum in Barcelona.

The officials discussed the situation in Gaza Strip and other related developments. They emphasized the need to adhere to the humanitarian truce and achieve a comprehensive and sustainable ceasefire to safeguard civilians and restore security and stability in Gaza.

The ministers tackled international efforts to provide humanitarian, relief and medical aid to prevent the escalation of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

Prince Faisal stressed the urgent need to establish accessible corridors for the swift delivery of aid to civilians.

He also reiterated the Kingdom's firm rejection of the forced displacement of the population in Gaza and underscored the essential role of the international community in taking decisive and effective actions to address the ongoing violations committed by the Israeli forces, which repeatedly disregard international law and humanitarian principles.  

Prince Faisal also held separate meetings in Barcelona with his Irish counterpart Micheal Martin and Cypriot counterpart Constantinos Kombos.

OIC Condemns Continued Israeli Aggression on Palestine, Lebanon

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has strongly condemned the ongoing and escalating Israeli military aggression on Lebanon, which has resulted in hundreds of martyrs and injured individuals and displaced nearly one million people.
The OIC held the Israeli occupation responsible for this dangerous escalation, which threatens the security and stability of the entire region, SPA reported.

It also called for increased solidarity with Lebanon and urged for the provision of urgent relief aid to enable the Lebanese government to respond to the displacement crisis caused by the brutal Israeli aggression.
The OIC also strongly condemned the continuing war crimes being committed by the Israeli occupation in the Gaza Strip, including the latest massacres in the Nuseirat refugee camp and the city of Khan Yunis, which resulted in the deaths and injuries of hundreds of innocent civilians.

The organization considered these actions part of the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people, which necessitates accountability and prosecution under international criminal law.
The OIC renewed its call on the United Nations Security Council to assume its responsibilities in maintaining international peace and security, enforce its resolutions, impose an immediate and comprehensive ceasefire, and put an end to Israel's continued violations of international law.
