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.

Saudi Arabia, represented by the National Cybersecurity Authority, is set to host on Monday the inaugural meeting of the Arab Cybersecurity Ministers Council.

The meeting will be attended by ministers and officials responsible for cybersecurity in Arab League member states, alongside the organization’s Secretary General, Ahmed Aboul Gheit.

The agenda includes discussions on key topics of mutual interest, such as drafting the Arab cybersecurity strategy, organizing joint cybersecurity exercises, and reviewing working papers submitted by Arab League member states. These initiatives aim to foster enhanced cooperation in cybersecurity across the Arab region.

The Arab Cybersecurity Ministers Council, established following a proposal by Saudi Arabia and endorsed by all Arab countries, is tasked with formulating general policies, strategies, and priorities to advance joint Arab efforts in cybersecurity.

Its objectives include enhancing collaboration, coordinating efforts among Arab states on cybersecurity issues, sharing knowledge and expertise, and safeguarding member states' interests in international cybersecurity organizations. The council also seeks to develop a unified Arab stance on cybersecurity matters in international forums and contribute to creating a secure and trustworthy Arab cyberspace that promotes growth and prosperity for all member states.
