Saudi Arabia’s aviation authority announced on Friday that direct flights will start from Dammam to Najaf, Iraq, from June 1, strengthening the bond between the two countries.

This move is part of Saudi Arabia’s plan to increase its aviation capacity, aiming to serve more than 330 million passengers annually, with over 250 destinations worldwide.

Najaf will be the third destination in Iraq for Saudi flights, alongside Baghdad and Erbil, supporting easier travel between the two nations and boosting aviation cooperation.

Observers emphasize the significant role of the Saudi-Iraqi Coordination Council in elevating bilateral relations to a strategic level, driven by a shared commitment to common goals and the determination of the leaders of both countries.

This initiative underscores Saudi Arabia’s dedication to facilitating travel for its citizens to Iraq and promoting interaction with all Iraqi communities, fostering closer ties between the two nations.

Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Jasem Albudaiwi welcomed the announcement of the Gaza ceasefire agreement.

He expressed hope that the agreement would contribute to restoring security and peace in the Gaza Strip, ensuring the delivery of humanitarian aid to its residents, and facilitating the return of displaced individuals to their homes.

Albudaiwi also highlighted the devastating impact of the war waged by Israel on the Palestinian enclave, which resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of civilians, the destruction of infrastructure, and an unprecedented deterioration in humanitarian conditions.

Moreover, he commended Qatar, Egypt, and the US for their significant efforts and diligent work with all relevant parties to reach the agreement.

Albudaiwi reiterated the GCC's steadfast position on the Palestinian cause, emphasizing support for the legitimate national rights of the Palestinian people, including the establishment of an independent Palestinian state within the June 4, 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, and the guarantee of refugees' rights.
