The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) signed on Monday a memorandum of cooperation with the Saudi Development and Reconstruction Program for Yemen (SDRPY) to implement volunteer programs and initiatives in Yemen.

The memorandum was signed by KSrelief Assistant Supervisor General for Planning and Development Dr. Aqeel bin Jamaan Al-Ghamdi and SPDRY Assistant Supervisor General Eng. Hassan Al-Attas at the center in Riyadh.

It is part of the humanitarian and relief projects carried out by Saudi Arabia, through KSrelief, to help the brotherly Yemeni people achieve security, stability and development.

Earlier, the Saudi Press Agency reported that KSrelief’s Masam Project, dedicated to clearing mines in Yemen, successfully dismantled 826 mines in the third week of December 2023.

The tally includes five anti-personnel mines, 116 anti-tank mines, 681 unexploded ordnance, and one explosive device.  

A total of 426,090 mines have been dismantled since the project’s inception.  

Saudi Arabia, represented by KSrelief, aims to clear Yemeni territories of all mines, which have caused the death and injury of innocent children, women, and the elderly.

The Saudi government strongly condemned on Tuesday Israel’s plan to take over the Gaza Strip, accusing it of “ethnic cleansing and starvation of Palestinian civilians”.

It warned that the “international community and United Nations Security Council’s ongoing inability in stopping these violations is a direct threat to regional and international security and peace and will only encourage Israel’s genocidal practices and forced displacement of Palestinians from their land.”

Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, chaired the cabinet meeting that was held in NEOM.

The ministers reviewed the latest regional and international developments, leading with the developments in the Palestinian territories.

The cabinet welcomed Australia’s announcement that it intends to recognize the State of Palestine, and the possibility that New Zealand may follow. It said that these moves reflect growing international consensus over the two-state solution and the establishment of a Palestinian state according to the 1967 border and with East Jerusalem as its capital.

Crown Prince Mohammed briefed the cabinet on the talks he held with Jordan’s King Abdullah II during their meeting in NEOM on Monday. Discussions focused on bilateral ties between Saudi Arabia and Jordan and coordination over regional and international issues, starting with the developments in the Palestinian territories.

Crown Prince Mohammed briefed the cabinet also on the telephone talks he held with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Monday. Abbas expressed to the Crown Prince his country’s gratitude to the Kingdom’s efforts towards garnering greater international support for the recognition of the State of Palestine.

On international developments, the cabinet reiterated the Kingdom’s support for efforts to reach a peaceful solution to the Ukrainian crisis. It was briefed on the telephone talks held between Crown Prince Mohammed and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Monday.

The cabinet welcomed the peace agreement signed between Armenia and Azerbaijan last week, hoping it will help consolidate stability in the Caucasus and pave the way for a new phase of cooperation between the neighbors.
