Saudi Arabia welcomed on Monday the signing of a framework agreement between Sudanese parties on a new political transition. 

The Foreign Ministry congratulated the parties for inking the deal, hoping it will help achieve the aspirations of the Sudanese people. 

It stressed that the Kingdom continues to support all efforts aimed at establishing peace, security, stability and growth in Sudan. 

It reiterated Riyadh’s backing of the tripartite mechanism aimed at facilitating dialogue and consultations between the parties to the transition, it added. 

Sudan’s ruling generals and the main pro-democracy group on Monday signed a framework deal until elections. 

The deal pledges to establish a new, civilian-led transitional government to guide the country to elections and offers a path forward in the wake of Sudan's stalled transition to democracy following the October 2021 coup.

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has strongly condemned the Israeli military attack against Iran describing it as a flagrant violation of its sovereignty and international law, the Saudi Press Agency said on Sunday.
In a press release, the OIC reaffirmed its stance against any escalation that could further destabilize the region, calling on the international community and influential actors to work toward reducing tensions and putting an end to the cycle of violence.
OIC reiterated its firm position and called for an immediate and urgent halt to the Israeli aggression in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon.
On Saturday, Israeli warplanes hit several military targets in Iran in retaliation for an Iranian ballistic missile attack on Israel earlier this month.
