Saudi Arabia welcomed on Thursday the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip and expressed its appreciation for the efforts exerted by the states of Qatar, Egypt and the United States in that regard, the Saudi Press Agency said.
The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the Kingdom emphasized the importance of upholding the terms of the agreement, halting Israeli aggression against Gaza, and ensuring the complete withdrawal of Israeli occupation forces from Gaza and all other Palestinian and Arab territories. The Kingdom further called for the safe return of displaced persons to their homes.
The Kingdom also stressed the importance of building on this agreement to address the root causes of the conflict by enabling the Palestinian people to claim their rights, foremost among them is the establishment of an independent Palestinian state along the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.
The Kingdom expressed hopes that the agreement would permanently end this brutal Israeli war, which has claimed the lives of more than 45,000 people and injured more than 100,000.
