Saudi Arabia Condemns Israeli Plans to Displace Palestinians from Gaza

Saudi Arabia condemned on Monday Israel’s announcement of the establishment of an agency that aims to displace Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, as well as the approval of the separation of 13 illegal settlement neighborhoods in the West Bank in preparation for legitimizing them as settlements.

The Kingdom reiterated its firm rejection of Israel’s continuous violations of international law and international humanitarian law, said the Foreign Ministry.

It stressed that lasting and just peace cannot be achieved without the Palestinian people obtaining their legitimate rights in accordance with international resolutions and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state along the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
