In a tweet, he said: “The protracted Syrian crisis needs a new approach.”

“The ugliest kind of violence” cannot go on any longer as if it were a normal part of life, he added.

He stressed the importance of the “Arab role” in ending the violence and fighting by adopting a “realistic and pragmatic” approach.

“Without this, the conflict in sisterly Syria will continue,” Gargash warned.

The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned on Sunday the targeting of vital facilities and infrastructure in Port Sudan and Kassala in Sudan, describing it as a threat to regional stability as well as to Arab and African national security.
The Kingdom called for an immediate end to the war in Sudan and urged all parties to spare the country and its people further suffering and destruction.

It also reiterated its stance that resolving the crisis requires a Sudanese-led political solution that respects Sudan’s sovereignty and unity, while supporting the country’s state institutions.
The ministry reaffirmed the Kingdom's rejection of these violations, stressing the urgent need to protect civilians and ensure the implementation of the Jeddah Declaration (Commitment to Protect Civilians in Sudan), signed on May 11, 2023.
