Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Secretary-General Jasem Albudaiwi strongly condemned on Sunday the statements made by Israel against Saudi Arabia and its demand to establish a Palestinian state within Saudi territory.
Albudaiwi stated that “these dangerous and irresponsible statements underscore the approach of the Israeli occupation forces in their disrespect for international laws, treaties, and the sovereignty of nations.”
He reiterated the firm and steadfast stance of the Kingdom and the GCC countries in supporting the Palestinian people in obtaining their legitimate rights, highlighting the significant and valuable efforts made by Saudi Arabia and the GCC countries in regional and international forums to advocate for the Palestinian cause.
"These efforts focus on the need for a two-state solution, supporting Palestinian sovereignty over all Palestinian territories occupied since June 1967, establishing an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, and ensuring the right of return for refugees, in accordance with the Arab Peace Initiative and international resolutions," Albudaiwi stated.
He renewed his call for the international community to take a serious and decisive stand against the aggressive Israeli statements, which threaten the security and stability of both the region and the world at large.
