Saudi Minister of Foreign Affairs Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah took part on Saturday in the Arab-US meeting held in Amman, Jordan.

The meeting discussed the Arab position, which calls for an immediate cessation of military operations that have resulted in the loss of innocent lives, and urgent delivery of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.

They tackled efforts to create a stable environment and restore the path to peace, ensuring that the Palestinian people obtain their legitimate rights, and that just and lasting peace is established.

The meeting was attended by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and the foreign ministers of Qatar, Jordan, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates.

Prince Faisal later took part in the Arab coordination meeting in Amman. The meeting sought to coordinate efforts to stop the Israeli war on Gaza and the subsequent humanitarian crisis in the region.

The meeting focused on the alarming situation in Gaza and its surrounding areas and the international community’s urgent role in putting an end to military operations in the region to prevent the killing of innocent civilians and pave the way for a fair and comprehensive solution that meets the aspirations of the Palestinian 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”.
