GCC Urges an Immediate Ceasefire in Lebanon

Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Jassim bin Mohammed Al-Budaiwi reaffirmed the GCC's unwavering support for the Lebanese people and its commitment to Lebanon’s sovereignty, security, and stability.
He emphasized the urgent need for a ceasefire and called for avoiding military escalation along the Lebanese-Israeli border, protecting civilians, exercising self-restraint, steering clear of regional conflicts, and preventing the spread of violence in the region, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Monday.
Al-Budaiwi reiterated the position outlined in the GCC ministerial statement, urging the full implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701.
The UN resolution calls for Israel's respect for Lebanon's borders and the extension of the Lebanese government’s authority across its entire territory, in line with other Security Council resolutions and the Taif Agreement.
The goal is for Lebanon to exercise full sovereignty, with no weapons present without government approval and no authority beyond that of the state.
The statement also stressed the importance of expediting Lebanon's presidential elections and implementing critical economic reforms to enable the government to meet its obligations to its people.
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.

Saudi Arabia actively marks World Children's Day, observed on November 20 every year, through a range of projects and initiatives carried out by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief), which is dedicated to supporting children and promoting their well-being worldwide.

Since its establishment, KSrelief has implemented 3,117 projects across 105 countries, totaling over $7.1 billion. Among these, 965 projects were valued at over $924 million, specifically focusing on enhancing the living conditions of children and their families, alleviating their suffering and ensuring access to education in safe and healthy environments.

One significant project by the center is the rehabilitation and reintegration of children recruited and affected by the armed conflict in Yemen, which aims to support child soldiers in their journey back to society.

The project has positively impacted 530 children and 60,560 family members. It entails facilitating the children's integration into their communities, enrolling them in schools, and offering vital psychological and social support through targeted training courses, helping them to lead normal, fulfilling lives.
KSrelief is a key supporter of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), significantly contributing to the delivery of health services and nutrition programs for newborns and their mothers. The center also plays a crucial role in supporting educational initiatives and ensuring the continuity of education in crisis and disaster-affected areas.
