Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz received on Tuesday the relatives of slain Judge Sheikh Mohammed Abdullah al-Jirani, reported the Saudi Press Agency (SPA).

He expressed his condolences to the relatives, who in turn thanked the king for his support.

The meeting at the Yamama Palace in Riyadh was attended by Interior Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Saud bin Nayef bin Abdulaziz.

Jirani, judge at the Endowments and Inheritance Department in al-Qatif, was kidnapped from in front of his home on the island of Tarout in 2016.

In December 2017, security forces identified and arrested three of his kidnappers.

Jirani’s body was discovered in a farm region in al-Awamiya on December 19 after engaging in an armed clash with his kidnappers, leaving one of them dead.

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) strongly condemned on Sunday the continued crimes committed by Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip, most recently the shelling of a school sheltering displaced persons.

Seven Palestinians were killed and dozens of civilians were injured in the attack, which the OIC slammed as a “flagrant violation of international humanitarian law”.

The OIC renewed its call on the international community, particularly the UN Security Council, “to assume its responsibilities by putting an end to all Israeli crimes and violations, securing a comprehensive and permanent ceasefire, ensuring sufficient and unhindered delivery of humanitarian assistance, and guaranteeing the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza.”

It further emphasized “the need to activate international criminal justice mechanisms to pursue and hold accountable all Israeli officials involved in committing these grave crimes and to ensure that they do not evade punishment.”
