Saudi Arabia strongly denounced on Thursday Israel’s brutal attack on the city of Jenin in the occupied West Bank, the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.

The Kingdom reiterated its call on the international community to assume its responsibility towards halting Israel’s violations of relevant international laws and treaties.
