Saudi Arabia has expressed deep concern regarding the evolving situation in Lebanon, emphasizing the necessity of upholding Lebanon's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The Kingdom has reiterated its commitment to standing by the Lebanese people as they face the challenges arising from the current circumstances, stressing the importance of addressing the humanitarian repercussions, the Saudi Press Agency said on Monday.
In line with its supportive stance toward Lebanon, Saudi Arabia’s leadership has issued directives for the provision of medical and relief assistance to the Lebanese population during these difficult times.
Additionally, Saudi Arabia has called on the international community to fulfill its responsibilities in safeguarding regional security and peace, aiming to protect the region and its inhabitants from the dangers and tragedies of wars.
A wave of Israeli airstrikes across large parts of Lebanon have killed more than 1,030 people — including 156 women and 87 children — in less than two weeks, according to Lebanon’s Health Ministry.

Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Hissein Brahim Taha emphasized the importance of the International Alliance to Implement the Two-State Solution.

The alliance was announced by Saudi Minister of Foreign Affairs Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah during a high-level meeting held on the sidelines of the 79th United Nations General Assembly in New York.

In a statement on Sunday, Taha urged all countries to join this historic political initiative, highlighting its role as a political network working for the two-state solution in accordance with international law, the UN Charter and resolutions.

The alliance, he said, reflects a dedication to backing endeavors aimed at ending the Israeli occupation, establishing the Palestinian State, and realizing a just, comprehensive, and lasting peace in the region.

He urged countries that have not yet recognized the State of Palestine to promptly join the 149 countries that have done so, and to endorse its right to full UN membership.

This will strengthen Palestine's legitimacy and political status, and advance the rights of the Palestinian people, including their right to self-determination and to establish their independent state based on the June 4, 1967, borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, he stressed.
