A Saudi-Greek joint military maneuver was concluded on Thursday at King Faisal Air Base in the northern Tabuk region.

The two-week Falcon Eye 2 exercise included offensive and defensive tactical counter operations and air maneuvers.

The Royal Saudi Air Force F-15C and Hellenic Air Force F-16 aircraft successfully completed intense sorties following the highest safety levels.

Major General Pilot Nasser Al-Qahtani, commander of the King Faisal Air Base and the drill commander, said that the exercise achieved the desired goals, including deepening cooperation between the two countries, exchanging experiences between the Royal Saudi Air Force and its Greek counterpart, and raising the level of combat readiness.

Al-Qahtani added that the presence of the chief of the Hellenic National Defense General Staff and the deputy commander of the Air Force at the exercise and meeting with the participants was evidence of the importance of this joint operation and the great efforts exerted for its success.

OIC Welcomes UN Call for ICJ Opinion on Israel's Aid Obligations to Palestinians

OIC Welcomes UN Call for ICJ Opinion on Israel's Aid Obligations to Palestinians

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has welcomed the UN General Assembly approval of a resolution requesting "an advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on the obligations of Israel in relation to the presence and activities of the United Nations, other international organizations and third States,” expressing appreciation for the efforts of the Kingdom of Norway and all the countries that co-sponsored and supported the draft resolution, SPA reported.
The OIC emphasized that all plans and measures implemented by the Israeli occupation, including legislation affecting the presence, operations, and immunities of the United Nations and its bodies, such as the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA), as well as other international organizations and third states in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, constitute a violation of the UN Charter and its relevant resolutions.
“These actions deprive the Palestinian people of essential assistance and exacerbate the humanitarian crisis they are experiencing," said the OIC.
The organization further welcomed the UN General Assembly's adoption of a resolution affirming the “permanent sovereignty of the Palestinian people in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and of the Arab population in the occupied Syrian Golan over their natural resources.”
The OIC called on all states, international organizations, and UN agencies to work toward ending the Israeli occupation and enabling the Palestinian people to exercise their legitimate rights, including the right to self-determination and the establishment of an independent state based on the June 4, 1967, borders with Jerusalem as its capital.
