Saudi Arabia welcomed on Tuesday the findings by the United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry, which concluded that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.
This report clearly demonstrates the crimes and violations to which the Palestinian people are being subjected, said the Kingdom according to a Foreign Ministry statement.
Saudi Arabia renewed its call on the international community to take serious steps to enforce international resolutions, implement the two-state solution, and put an end to the suffering of the Palestinian people, it added.
A team of independent experts commissioned by the United Nations' Human Rights Council concluded that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, issuing a report Tuesday that calls on the international community to end the genocide and take steps to punish those responsible for it.
The deeply-documented findings by the three-member team are the latest accusations of genocide against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government by rights advocates as Israeli carries on with its war against Hamas in Gaza that has killed tens of thousands of people. Israel rejected what it called a “distorted and false” report.
The Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory and Israel, which was created four years ago, has repeatedly documented alleged human rights abuses and violations both in Gaza since the deadly Oct. 7, 2023, attacks in Israel led by Hamas, and other Palestinian areas.
