Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi strongly condemned Israeli settlers’ storming of Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa Mosque under the protection of Israeli forces.

He slammed Israeli violations during the holy month of Ramadan, saying they were a dangerous escalation, flagrant violation of international law and relevant resolutions and the historical and legal status quo in Jerusalem and its holy sites, and a provocation of sentiments of Muslims across the globe.

He called on the international community to immediately intervene to stop the violations and intensify efforts to push the peace process forward.

He underscored the GCC’s firm position that prioritizes resolving the Palestinian-Israeli conflict through the establishment of an independent Palestinian state according to the June 4, 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.

Saudi Arabia actively marks World Children's Day, observed on November 20 every year, through a range of projects and initiatives carried out by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief), which is dedicated to supporting children and promoting their well-being worldwide.

Since its establishment, KSrelief has implemented 3,117 projects across 105 countries, totaling over $7.1 billion. Among these, 965 projects were valued at over $924 million, specifically focusing on enhancing the living conditions of children and their families, alleviating their suffering and ensuring access to education in safe and healthy environments.

One significant project by the center is the rehabilitation and reintegration of children recruited and affected by the armed conflict in Yemen, which aims to support child soldiers in their journey back to society.

The project has positively impacted 530 children and 60,560 family members. It entails facilitating the children's integration into their communities, enrolling them in schools, and offering vital psychological and social support through targeted training courses, helping them to lead normal, fulfilling lives.
KSrelief is a key supporter of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), significantly contributing to the delivery of health services and nutrition programs for newborns and their mothers. The center also plays a crucial role in supporting educational initiatives and ensuring the continuity of education in crisis and disaster-affected areas.
