The Muslim World League (MWL) has expressed its discontent and regret over the veto of a draft UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, which was submitted by the Republic of Algeria to protect the lives and property of Palestinians in the strip, SPA said on Wednesday.
MWL Secretary-General and Chairman of the Organization of Muslim Scholars Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa reiterated in a statement his call on the international community to assume its responsibility to protect civilians, maintain international peace and security, and end the humanitarian disaster in Gaza.
This war is a flagrant violation of all international laws, and also shakes the confidence of the world community in the international order, the statement added.

Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Secretary-General Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi welcomed on Wednesday the agreement between the legitimate Yemeni government and Iran-backed Houthi militias to de-escalate the situation with regard to the Yemeni banking sector and airlines.

The agreement was announced by the United Nations Secretary-General's Special Envoy to Yemen, Hans Grundberg, on Tuesday.

Albudaiwi expressed the GCC's support for all regional and international efforts and the efforts led by the UN special envoy aimed at achieving peace and security in Yemen.

The announcement underscores the importance the international community attaches to the Yemeni crisis, he added, hoping the agreement will pave the way for Yemeni parties to start the political process, under UN auspices, to reach a comprehensive political solution that achieves security and stability in the country.

He reiterated the GCC's continued support and full solidarity with Yemen, its government and people, and its keenness to encourage all efforts to de-escalate and maintain stability in order to reach peace.
