The Saudi Interior Ministry announced on Monday that a man was executed in the Eastern Province for his ties with a terrorist cell, reported the Saudi Press Agency (SPA).

It identified the man as Saudi national Mustafa al-Sharfa. He was accused of smuggling weapons into the Kingdom and being involved with a terrorist cell with the aim of destabilizing the country.

The cell plotted to attack and kill security forces and stir chaos and riots, it added.

Security forces arrested Sharfa and he was charged following investigations. He was referred to the relevant criminal court that sentenced him to death.

He was executed on Monday in the city of al-Dammam.

The Interior Ministry underscored the keenness of the government to consolidate security and achieve justice throughout the Kingdom. It will not waver in deterring any side that deigns to undermine its security and stability and its citizens and residents.

MWL Welcomes UN Co-Chairs' Statement on Palestinian Question and Two-State Solution

The Muslim World League (MWL) welcomed the statement issued by the Co-Chairs of the United Nations High-Level International Conference on the Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine and the Implementation of the Two-State Solution, represented by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the French Republic.
In a statement from the League’s General Secretariat, MWL Secretary-General and Chairman of the Organization of Muslim Scholars Sheikh Dr. Mohammed Al-Issa reaffirmed the League and the Islamic world’s appreciation for the pivotal and significant momentum generated by the international coalition, led by Saudi Arabia, to implement the two-state solution.

He noted that this conference was one of the important outcomes of these efforts, alongside the coalition’s remarkable diplomatic achievements in a short time, which have pushed the international community toward a legitimate and responsible stance aligned with the legal and human rights of the Palestinian people, SPA reported.

Dr. Al-Issa also expressed regret over the ongoing escalation and recent developments in the region that led to the suspension of this historic conference, which had been widely anticipated as a step toward a peaceful settlement of the Palestinian question, the implementation of the two-state solution, and an end to the prolonged suffering of the Palestinian people and the humanitarian tragedy facing civilians in Gaza.

He praised the statement’s reaffirmation of unwavering support for all efforts aimed at ending the war in Gaza and achieving a just and sustainable resolution to the Palestinian question through the implementation of the two-state solution.
