Saudi Arabia strongly condemned the attacks targeting the residences of the leader of autonomous Iraqi Kurdistan, Nechirvan Barzani, and the attacks targeting Iraqi Kurdistan, the Saudi Press Agency reported Sunday.

The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs said a statement: "Saudi Arabia emphasizes its rejection of anything that threatens the security and stability of Iraq and affirms its solidarity with Iraq and the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, as well as its support for their security and stability."

Since the launch of the US-Israeli offensive against Iran on February 28, Iraq has been drawn into a regional conflict it has sought to avoid.

Pro-Iranian groups in Iraq claim responsibility on a daily basis for drone attacks and rocket strikes targeting the US military presence, both within Iraq and elsewhere in the Middle East.

These attacks have targeted the US Embassy in Baghdad and personnel for an international anti-extremist coalition deployed in Iraq.

OIC Condemns Israeli Move to Seize Homes and Displace Palestinian Families in Jerusalem

The General Secretariat of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) condemned the Israeli authorities’ decision to seize 15 homes in Jerusalem’s Silwan neighborhood and forcibly displace Palestinian families from their homes, the Saudi Press Agency reported Sunday.

The OIC warned that these measures constitute an escalation in forced displacement policies aimed at reshaping the city’s Arab identity, undermining Palestinian presence, and altering the city’s demographic composition.

It affirmed that all measures taken by Israeli authorities, including annexation and settlement plans and attempts to impose sovereignty over the West Bank, are null and void and lack legitimacy under international law and relevant United Nations resolutions.

The general secretariat reiterated its call on the international community, particularly the United Nations Security Council, to assume its responsibilities and act to halt violations and crimes in the occupied Palestinian territories.
