The Saudi Minister of State, Member of the Cabinet, and National Security Adviser, Dr. Musaed bin Mohammed Al-Aiban, headed the Kingdom's delegation participating in the Urgent Humanitarian Response for Gaza conference, which was held on Tuesday in the Dead Sea region in Jordan.

Al-Aiban delivered the Kingdom's speech in which he affirmed Saudi Arabia’s continued humanitarian support for the Palestinians, referring to the campaign launched by the Kingdom to help the Palestinians, which exceeded SAR700 million, in addition to operating air and sea bridges to deliver aid to the Gaza Strip.
In the main session of the conference, Al-Aiban stressed that the ongoing Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip necessitates collective work to halt the humanitarian catastrophe, intensify all international efforts aimed at stopping the aggression, along with complete withdrawal of the Israeli forces, and delivering sufficient and sustainable humanitarian aid to all parts of Gaza.

Al-Aiban also stressed the need for the displaced people to return to their homes safely and for the international community to fulfil its responsibilities to halt the Israeli aggression and work to find a just and comprehensive solution to the Palestinian cause based on international legitimacy resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative, in a way that guarantees the right of the Palestinian people to establish their independent state on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.
The minister of state stressed the need to deliver sufficient and sustainable humanitarian aid to all parts of the Gaza Strip and returning the displaced people to their homes.

Al-Aiban called on the international community to hold the Israeli authorities accountable for crimes, violations, and practices that violate international law and international humanitarian law.
He also stated that the Kingdom continued to support the efforts of international organizations in light of the tragic conditions the Gaza Strip is witnessing, adding that it also signed, through the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief), agreements to implement urgent projects in cooperation with UN organizations.
Al-Aiban welcomed the decision taken by Norway, Spain, Ireland and Slovenia to recognize the State of Palestine.
