The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed on Tuesday the Kingdom stern warning regarding the extremist statements made by an Israeli cabinet official about imposing Israeli sovereignty over the occupied West Bank and expanding settlements.

These statements “undermine peace efforts, including the two-state solution; encourage conflicts; and increase extremism, posing a greater threat to regional security and stability,” it stressed.

Saudi Arabia considers these statements “a blatant violation of international laws and UN resolutions, reinforcing occupation and expansion by force, which sets a dangerous precedent.”

The ministry said that the “continued international failure to address this issue threatens the legitimacy and credibility of the international system and its sustainability.”

Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz issued on Thursday a Royal Order to promote Major General Saleh bin Abdulrahman bin Samir Al-Harbi to the rank of Lieutenant General and appoint him as Head of the Military Apparatus.

A second Royal Order appointed Prince Khalid bin Bandar bin Sultan bin Abdulaziz as an advisor at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Born in 1977, Prince Khalid worked as the Saudi Ambassador to the UK and Germany.

He attended Oxford University and Pembroke College, where he earned a degree in Oriental Studies. He also attended Sandhurst Military Academy and studied at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy.

He worked at the United Nations in New York and for three years as an advisor to the Saudi Ambassador in Washington.

Al-Harbi was a member of several security and military committees. A decorated officer, he was head of operations at the National Guard Ministry.

National Guard Minister Prince Abdullah bin Bandar bin Abdulaziz awarded him the Knight Medal of the International Civil Defense Organization (ICDO).

The medal is awarded by the ICDO in recognition of exceptional service to the organization and outstanding contributions to advancing civil defense efforts around the world.
