Saudi Minister of Foreign Affairs Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah made a phone call Friday with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi.

Prince Faisal praised China’s support for the United Nations General Assembly resolution issued on October 27, which calls for an immediate ceasefire and establishing an urgent humanitarian truce in the besieged Gaza Strip.

The officials discussed developments in Gaza and its surroundings amid the ongoing military escalation and the harm to innocent civilians.

They emphasized the importance of the international community taking responsibility for halting all military activities and returning to a just and comprehensive path to peace for the Palestinians to achieve international security and peace.

They reviewed bilateral relations and ways to boost them to meet the aspirations of their countries.

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.
