The Saudi Foreign Ministry expressed on Friday the Kingdom’s rejection of Israeli evictions of Palestinian from homes in Jerusalem.

It condemned any unilateral moves and violations of international resolutions, as well as measures that undermine opportunities to resume the peace process aimed at establishing security and stability in the region.

The Kingdom reiterated its support to the Palestinian people and all efforts aimed at reaching a fair and comprehensive solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

The solution should ensure the establishment of a Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital and must be based on international resolutions and the 2002 Arab peace initiative.

Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz congratulated on Saturday Muslims on the advent of Eid al-Fitr.

In a speech on the occasion, he expressed his gratitude to government sectors for their efforts to facilitate the Umrah rituals for visitors throughout the holy month of Ramadan.

Media Minister Salman al-Dossary delivered the speech on King Salman’s behalf.

He said that God “has bestowed countless blessings upon our country, foremost among which is the privilege of serving the two holy mosques and the Hajj and Umrah pilgrims.”

“Eid is an occasion of joy and happiness, embodying unity, compassion, and brotherhood,” he added.

“May God continue to bestow security, peace, stability, and prosperity upon our country, the Islamic nation, and the entire world,” he said.

Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates declared on Saturday that Sunday will be the first day of Eid al-Fitr, marking the end of Ramadan.

King Salman and Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, received messages of congratulations from Arab leaders on the occasion.

Crown Prince Mohammed received telephone calls from United Arab Emirates President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Bahrain’s King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and Jordan’s King Abdullah II, who congratulated him on the advent of Eid.
