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.
