The Makkah-based Muslim World League (MWL) welcomed the adoption of a resolution by the United Nations General Assembly to recognize the State of Palestine's right to full membership in the UN.

In a statement, MWL Secretary General and the Chairman of the Association of Muslim Scholars Sheikh Dr. Mohammed bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa confirmed that the resolution clearly expresses the international consensus in favor of the right of the Palestinian people to establish their independent state, within the framework of the two-state solution.

The MWL Secretary-General also praised the noble position of the countries that voted in favor of the resolution, calling on the leaders of UN Security Council members to fulfill their historical responsibility and stand with the human and legal right of the Palestinian people.

Saudi Arabia Urges Syria Sanctions Relief at Talks with Regional, EU Diplomats

Saudi Arabia on Sunday called for the lifting of sanctions on Syria after meetings with top diplomats from the Middle East and Europe that focused on the war-ravaged country's future.

"We stressed the importance of lifting unilateral and international sanctions imposed on Syria, as their continuation hinders the aspirations of the Syrian people to achieve development and reconstruction," Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan said after Sunday's talks concluded in Riyadh.
The agenda included a meeting of Arab officials as well as a broader gathering that also included Türkiye, France, the European Union and the United Nations.
Syria's new leader Ahmed al-Sharaa, who led the main opposition group in the alliance that overthrew Bashar Al-Assad, is pushing for sanctions relief. His administration is represented at the Riyadh talks by Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani.

This month Saudi Arabia sent food, shelter and medical supplies to Syria by land and by plane.

"We also emphasized the importance of continuing to provide various forms of humanitarian and economic support, as well as efforts to build the capacity of the Syrian state, achieve stability, and facilitate reconstruction," Prince Faisal said in his statement.

"This includes creating a conducive environment for the return of Syrian refugees."
