Speaker of the Arab Parliament Adel bin Abdulrahman Al-Asoomi commended the support of the Saudi leadership to the Palestinian people and its efforts to halt the Israeli aggression on Gaza Strip, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) said on Friday.
"The Kingdom has been exerting relentless efforts to halt the Israeli aggression on Gaza and deliver humanitarian and relief assistance to the Palestinian people”, Asoomi said in remarks to SPA on the sidelines of the Arab Parliament’s special session on Palestine held at the Arab League headquarters in Cairo.
The speaker of the pan-Arab legislature also highlighted the summits of world leaders the Kingdom has hosted, primarily the Extraordinary Joint Arab-Islamic Summit in Riyadh out of which the Arab Islamic Ministerial Committee was formed.

The Arab Islamic Ministerial Committee is chaired by Minister of Foreign Affairs Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah and was tasked with visiting the capitals of influential countries for ending the aggression on the Palestinian people.
Al-Asoomi also highlighted the Saudi fundraising campaign to aid the Palestinians, which collected over SAR500 million in donations, in addition to the relief air and sea bridge for Gaza.
He called on Arab people to continue boycotting all products that support the Israeli occupation forces in carrying out their crimes against the Palestinian people.

Saudi Minister of Foreign Affairs Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah participated on Wednesday in the second meeting of the G20 Foreign Ministers, chaired by Brazil, urging them to enable the achievement of a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the adoption of a “reliable” path to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.

The meeting was held on the sidelines of the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

"The fact that our meeting is being held on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly is an indication of the importance of the G20 and its leadership in ensuring the health of the global economy, enhancing multilateral cooperation, and finding innovative solutions to common challenges,” the Foreign Minister said in his speech.

He underscored the urgent need to adhere to successful models of collective action and the importance of seeking to develop and reform international institutions.

"The repercussions of wars and political conflicts undermine efforts to establish international peace and security and cast their shadows on all aspects of multilateral action, and when these institutions fail to carry out their fundamental duties towards these crises, this creates a gap in international action and a crisis of confidence that undermines their legitimacy. This is what we are witnessing today in the way some international institutions deal with the humanitarian catastrophe in Palestine."

The Minister stressed that prolonging the war and expanding its scope deepens the suffering of the Palestinian people, threatens international peace and security, and undermines the chances of achieving comprehensive peace in the region.

"The G20 countries must intensify their joint efforts to overcome the international failure to confront Israel's serious violations of international laws and norms and enable the achievement of a ceasefire and the adoption of a reliable and irreversible path to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state,” he added.

Regarding reforming the United Nations system, especially the Security Council, he stressed that there is an urgent need for radical reform to compensate for the defects in addressing crises, responding to the needs of people, and keeping pace with international transformations and development requirements.

"The Kingdom affirms that the goal of reforming the Security Council is to enhance its credibility and effective response, believing in the importance of this in confronting contemporary crises and challenges, thus contributing to creating a more just, secure and stable world."
