Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah and British Foreign Secretary David Cameron held talks on the developments in Gaza in London on Thursday.

Prince Faisal stressed that the international community, especially the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, including the UK, must fulfill their responsibilities towards intensifying efforts aimed at a ceasefire and ensure the provision of relief corridors for the urgent delivery of humanitarian food and medical aid to the Gaza Strip.

Prince Faisal focused on creating conditions for the return of stability and the restoration of a comprehensive and just peace process that guarantees the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people.

Prince Faisal and Cameron underlined the importance of taking all necessary steps to stop the fighting and ensure that violence does not escalate in order to achieve full protection for civilians.

They also reviewed bilateral relations between their countries and ways to develop them in various fields.

Cameron held a lunch banquet in honor of Prince Faisal and his accompanying delegation.

Saudi Minister of Foreign Affairs Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah received on Wednesday the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) Commissioner-General, Philippe Lazzarini.
During the meeting, both sides discussed the strong partnership between the Kingdom and UNRWA. They also reviewed recent regional developments and the ongoing efforts to address key challenges related to these issues.
In a related context, Arab reactions continue after Israel’s publications of maps annexing parts of Jordan, Lebanon and Syria.
Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs slammed Israel’s “extremist” acts that reflect Israel’s “intentions to consolidate its occupation and continue its flagrant violation of the sovereignty of those nations.”
Saudi Arabia reiterated its call for the international community to fulfill its role in halting Israel’s violations against the countries and peoples of the region.
The Kingdom emphasized the importance of respecting the sovereignty and borders of nations to prevent further escalation of regional crises and to support efforts aimed at achieving a just and comprehensive peace.

The Secretary-General of the Arab League, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, also issued a strong condemnation of Israel’s maps publications, saying it “reflects a state of right-wing extremism and religious obsession prevailing within the Israeli government”.
