The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Sunday strongly condemned the attack on the Saudi hospital in the city of El-Fasher in Sudan.

The attack resulted in the death and injury of several people, violating international and humanitarian laws, the Saudi Press Agency reported.

The Kingdom reiterated its rejection of these violations and emphasized the critical need to protect health and humanitarian workers, SPA said.

It urged self-restraint and the avoidance of targeting civilians, calling for adherence to the commitments made in the Jeddah Declaration of Commitment to Protect the Civilians of Sudan, issued on May 11, 2023.

Saudi Arabia also extended its deepest condolences and sincere sympathy to the families of the victims, wishing the injured speedy recovery.

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman praised on Wednesday US President Donald Trump’s decision to lift sanctions on Syria.

“We commend the decision made yesterday by President Trump to lift the sanctions on the brotherly Syrian Arab Republic, which will alleviate the suffering of the Syrian people,” he said in his opening speech at the GCC-US summit in Riyadh.

The Crown Prince also said that Gulf states were seeking to work with the US to de-escalate tensions in the region.

“We are aware of the magnitude of the challenges facing our region and we strive with you and with our GCC brothers to deescalate tensions in the region and to stop the war in Gaza and to find a permanent and comprehensive solution for the Palestinian crisis,” he said, addressing Trump.

“We stress our support to ending conflicts through peaceful means,” he added.
