Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said on Saturday that Israel bears responsibility for what he called crimes committed against Palestinian people, calling for an end to the siege of the Gaza Strip.

Speaking during an extraordinary joint Islamic-Arab summit in Riyadh, the crown prince stressed the Kingdom’s unequivocal rejection of the continued Israeli aggression in Gaza and the forced displacement of residents.

He also criticized "double standards" in applying the international humanitarian law, condemning the international community’s silence towards the violations against the Palestinian civilians.

The Saudi Crown Prince further urged for collective effort among Arab and Islamic countries to take effective action to deliver humanitarian and relief aid into Gaza.

“The Kingdom has made tireless efforts since the beginning of the aggression in Gaza and has continued consultations to stop the war.”

“A Palestinian state must be established on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital,” he added.

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.
