Head of Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency, Yossi Cohen, is in contact with senior Qatari officials to discuss the situation in the Gaza Strip, Israeli media sources revealed.

Israel’s Channel 11 uncovered on Tuesday the contacts between the two sides.

The sources said this was not the first time Cohen reaches out to Qatari officials.

He has in fact stepped in on previous occasions to facilitate the transfer of funds from Qatar to Gaza, they added.

Israel wants to make sure that Doha will continue to provide funds to the coastal enclave in the future, they revealed.

The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs has welcomed a United Nations General Assembly resolution requesting the International Court of Justice to issue a legal advisory opinion regarding Israel’s obligations concerning the activities of the UN and other states in support of the Palestinian people in the occupied Palestinian territories.

The resolution was sponsored by Norway in partnership with Saudi Arabia and several other countries.

The resolution, aimed at supporting and assisting the Palestinian people under the current circumstances, reflects a clear international consensus on the inalienable right of the Palestinian people to self-determination and the establishment of their independent state, the ministry said.

It added that the Kingdom appreciates the positive stance of the countries that voted in favor of the resolution.
