Saudi Arabia said Thursday that it condemns in the strongest possible terms the Israeli authorities' persistence in their crimes against the Palestinian people and their occupied land, and their ongoing attempts to displace them and prevent the establishment of their independent state.

This includes their ongoing expansion of settlement construction around occupied Jerusalem and the expansion of their operations and aggression, amounting to crimes of genocide against defenseless civilians in the Gaza Strip, SPA reported.

The Kingdom affirmed that these steps constitute serious violations of international law and relevant Security Council resolutions.

Saudi Arabia also affirmed that the implementation of these dangerous Israeli plans and continued Israeli occupation authorities and forces’ crimes without deterrence have a significant impact on the security and stability of the region, and threaten the legitimacy of the international order.
