Saudi Arabia strongly condemned on Monday Israeli forces for bombing of houses in Beit Lahia, in the northern Gaza Strip, and a settler incursion into Al-Aqsa Mosque courtyards in Jerusalem.

A Foreign Ministry statement said the Kingdom reiterated its denunciation of the continued flagrant violations of international law and international humanitarian law by Israeli forces.

It called on the international community, particularly permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, to hold Israeli forces accountable for their ongoing violations of Muslim holy sites and against innocent civilians in the State of Palestine, demanding an immediate ceasefire.

Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah held telephone talks on Monday with his Egyptian counterpart Badr Abdelatty.

Discussions focused on the latest developments in Syria.

A statement from the Egyptian Foreign Ministry said Abdelatty stressed “the importance of supporting the Syrian state during this critical moment in Syria’s history.”

He underscored the need to respect its sovereignty and territorial integrity, and to empower its national institutions.

He called for the adoption of a comprehensive political process, led by the Syrian people, so that stability can be restored throughout their country.

The FMs also discussed the latest developments in Gaza, with Abdellaty briefing Prince Faisal on Egypt’s “intense efforts with all concerned parties to reach an immediate and sustainable ceasefire and to ensure the unimpeded delivery of humanitarian aid.”
