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.
