Saudi Arabia Welcomes Ceasefire Agreement in Gaza

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.

Saudi Deputy Foreign Minister Waleed Al-Khuraiji visited Ankara on Wednesday and met with Turkish Vice President Cevdet Yilmaz, Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, and his counterparts Burhanettin Duran and Nuh Yilmaz.

Al-Khuraiji addressed relations between Saudi Arabia and Türkiye during his meetings, attended by the Saudi Ambassador to Türkiye, Fahd bin Asaad Abu Al-Nasr.

The Saudi deputy minister also held political consultations between the Saudi and Turkish foreign ministries in Ankara with Yilmaz.

During the meetings, Saudi Arabia and Türkiye discussed strengthening their bilateral relations and advancing cooperation. The officials also addressed issues of mutual interest and the latest regional developments.

In mid-July, Saudi Arabia and Türkiye reaffirmed their commitment to bolstering ties across various sectors, including the activation of a joint coordination council.

The announcement followed a meeting in Istanbul between Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

On his part, Fidan participated in an expanded international meeting on Syria hosted by Saudi Arabia on Sunday.

The gathering, chaired by Prince Faisal bin Farhan, underscored Riyadh’s pivotal role in the region and its steadfast support for ensuring Syria’s security, stability, and territorial integrity, free from foreign interference.
