Saudi Arabia commended on Friday the telephone call that took place between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday.

The Kingdom welcomes the announcement of the possibility of holding a summit attended by both presidents in Saudi Arabia, said the Foreign Ministry in a statement.

Saudi Arabia underscored its ongoing efforts to achieve lasting peace between Russia and Ukraine.

It highlighted the telephone calls by Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, to Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on March 3, 2022, during which he stressed the Kingdom's readiness to provide its good offices to reach a political solution to the crisis.

The General Secretariat of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has strongly condemned the ongoing Israeli aggression on Syrian territory, including Israel’s recent deadly bombardment of the town of Koya, the Saudi Press Agency said on Thursday.

The Jeddah-based organization described the attack as a blatant violation of the sovereignty of the Syrian Arab Republic, international law, and the United Nations Charter.

The General Secretariat stressed the need for the United Nations Security Council to shoulder its responsibilities and address these continuous attacks, reaffirming the OIC's solidarity with the Syrian Arab Republic.

An Israeli attack killed six people in southern Syria and left several innocent people injured on Tuesday.
