Saudi Interior Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Saud bin Nayef said that Arab countries should be fully prepared to counter cybercrimes, calling for a comprehensive system of cooperation to achieve this purpose.

His comments came during the 39th session of the Arab Interior Ministers Council, held on Wednesday in the Tunisian capital.

“Developments in the world of technology and digital transformation have broad benefits to humanity, but unfortunately they have also contributed to the creation of emerging criminal patterns and methods represented in cybercrimes, which call for technical and human readiness within a comprehensive cooperative system,” he said.

Prince Abdulaziz bin Saud, who is also Honorary President of the Council of Arab Interior Ministers, stressed that the Council was working to achieve the security, safety and stability of the Arab countries, adding that efforts were underway to promote cooperation and ensure the preservation of Arab security.

Tunisian Prime Minister Najla Boden delivered the opening speech during which he underlined the Council’s role in facilitating security cooperation among Arab states, especially in light of security challenges and cross-border organized crimes.

Meanwhile, Tunisian President Kais Saied met Wednesday the Arab interior ministers participating in the work of the 39th session at the Presidential Palace of Carthage.

In addition to the Arab interior ministers, Wednesday’s session was attended by representatives of the Arab League, the Gulf Cooperation Council, the Arab Maghreb Union, the European Union, the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol), the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism, and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, Europol, and the Counter-Terrorism Project in the Middle East and North Africa.

Saudi Arabia strongly condemned on Wednesday the storming of Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa Mosque compound by Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.

The Saudi Foreign Ministry slammed the repeated “flagrant Israeli violations of the sanctity of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.”

It also condemned Israeli forces for attacking an UNRWA clinic in northern Gaza, saying it was another in a series of attacks by Israel against UN and relief agencies.

“The Kingdom condemns the continued Israeli violations of international law and international humanitarian law, underscoring its categorical rejection of everything that may undermine the historic and legal status of Jerusalem and its holy sites,” said the ministry.

It called on the international community to “put a stop to the Israeli war machine that has no regard for any human values or law or international norms.”

It warned that the international community’s failure to deter these dangerous and ongoing violations will undermine opportunities to achieve peace and undermine the credibility of international law, as well as impact regional and global security and stability.
