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.
