Saudi Arabia’s strongly condemned on Friday Israeli authorities and extremist settler attacks against the Palestinian people, the latest of which is the storming of the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque and the provocation of worshippers there.

It also slammed the reprehensible assault on the Hajjah Hamidah Mosque in the Palestinian village of Kifl Hares, said a Foreign Ministry statement.

“The continuation of these assaults without deterrence undermines international and regional efforts aimed at achieving peace and leads to increasing tensions and perpetuation of the cycle of conflict,” it warned.

“The international community’s silence regarding these practices, and the absence of accountability mechanisms amid ongoing Israeli violations and assaults, weakens the foundations of the international order and undermines the principles of international legitimacy,” it stressed.

“The Kingdom reiterates its firm position in supporting the Palestinian people and in continuing its efforts toward establishing an independent Palestinian state on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, in accordance with the Arab Peace Initiative and relevant international resolutions,” it added.

Bahrain announced on Monday the arrest of three people “for forming a cell affiliated with the Lebanese terrorist Hezbollah group,” saying the necessary legal procedures had been completed and that the detainees had been referred to the Public Prosecution.

In a statement, the Interior Ministry said the suspects “coordinated with terrorist elements abroad and sought to engage in espionage with them with the intent to undermine the sovereignty of the state, spread fear and panic among citizens and residents, and endanger the security and safety of the country.”

The suspects were identified as Ahmed Ahmed Hussain Madan, 24, Hassan Abdulameer Ashoor, 22, and Muntadhar Abdulmohsen Ali Madan, 29, reported Bahrain’s state news agency BNA.

They revealed that “during their travel to Lebanon, they received weapons training after meeting with members of the Lebanese Hezbollah terrorist organization.”

They also sent images and information about the repercussions of the Iranian attacks against Bahrain and collected funds under the guise of charitable work, transferring them to support Hezbollah activities in preparation for being tasked by its leaders with carrying out terrorist plots and acts in Bahrain, said the statement.
