The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed the Kingdom’s strongest condemnation of the repeated statements made by the Israeli Prime Minister regarding the displacement of the Palestinian people from their land, including through the Rafah border crossing.

The Ministry further denounced the continued use of blockade and starvation as means to impose forced displacement - actions that constitute a flagrant violation of international laws, humanitarian principles, and the most basic standards of human rights.

In this regard, the Kingdom reaffirmed its unwavering support for Egypt and its efforts to safeguard regional stability and protect Palestinian civilians from further suffering.

Saudi Arabia underscored the urgent need for the international community - particularly the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council - to intervene and halt Israel’s ongoing aggressive policies against the Palestinian people and their land.

The Kingdom reiterated its rejection of any form of displacement, regardless of justification, and renewed its call to hold the occupation authorities accountable for genocide and grave violations against civilians.

It further emphasized the urgent need to put an immediate end to these practices, provide protection for the Palestinian people, and fulfill their legitimate rights in establishing an independent Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital, as the only viable path to achieving lasting security and stability in the region.

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.
