Saudi Minister of Foreign Affairs Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah received on Monday a telephone call from Denmark's' Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen.

The ministers discussed the development of the continuing military escalation in Gaza and its surroundings.

They tackled the need to find suitable ways to defuse the tension and stop the ongoing escalation in the region.

They also discussed the importance of intensifying communication with the international community through bilateral and multilateral relations to reach a just and equitable solution that meets the aspirations of the Palestinian people, mitigating the repercussions of the crisis to help protect civilians, and allowing the delivery of relief aid and medical equipment to ease the humanitarian disaster and prevent its aggravation.

They also reviewed bilateral relations and ways to boost them to serve the aspirations of their countries, in addition to several issues of common interest.

Kuwait's foreign ministry issued on Sunday a circular indicating that it had listed eight hospitals in Lebanon as part of regulations related to "combating terrorism.”

Lebanon's health ministry expressed surprise and said it would seek clarification.

It said it received the Kuwaiti statement "with great surprise", adding it had not been provided with "any information or notification from any Kuwaiti entity about this matter.”

"The hospitals mentioned in the statement are registered with the syndicate of private hospitals in Lebanon and carry out their role in providing treatment and health services to all Lebanese without exception," the ministry statement said.

It called the facilities "an essential part of the Lebanese health system,” and said it would contact the relevant authorities to request clarification and "protect Lebanon's health system.”

It noted that "Kuwait has numerous joint projects with the ministry... and has been among the most prominent countries that have stood by the health system during the successive crises that Lebanon has faced.”

The latest move was "unprecedented and inconsistent" with the Gulf country's usual approach, it added.
