A hostile attack targeted a petroleum products distribution plant in Jeddah, said the Saudi-led Arab coalition on Sunday.

The attack resulted in a fire breaking out in one of the tanks. It was controlled and did not result in any casualties.

The coalition blamed the attack on the Iran-backed Houthi militias in Yemen, adding that it reflects their rejection of peace efforts to end the suffering of the Yemeni people.

Saudi Minister of Foreign Affairs, Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah, received on Wednesday the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) Commissioner-General, Philippe Lazzarini.
During the meeting, both sides discussed the strong partnership between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and UNRWA. They also reviewed recent regional developments and the ongoing efforts to address key challenges related to these issues.
In a related context, Arab reactions continue after Israel’s publications of maps annexing parts of Jordan, Lebanon and Syria.
Saudi Arabia’s ministry of foreign affairs slammed Israel’s “extremist” acts that reflect Israel’s “intentions to consolidate its occupation and continue its flagrant violation of the sovereignty of those nations.”
Saudi Arabia reiterated its call for the international community to fulfill its role in halting Israel’s violations against the countries and peoples of the region.
The Kingdom emphasized the importance of respecting the sovereignty and borders of nations to prevent further escalation of regional crises and to support efforts aimed at achieving a just and comprehensive peace.

The Secretary-General of the Arab League, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, also issued a strong condemnation of Israel’s maps publications, saying it “reflects a state of right-wing extremism and religious obsession prevailing within the Israeli government”.
