The Saudi government reiterated on Tuesday its strong condemnation of Israel’s assaults in the region, renewing its complete solidarity with Qatar and support for all the measures it takes to protect its security and sovereignty.
Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, chaired the government meeting that was held in Riyadh.
The cabinet extended its congratulations to Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz on the inauguration of the second year of the ninth session of the Shura Council that took place last week.
It noted Crown Prince Mohammed’s annual royal speech at the inauguration. The speech highlighted the firm principles of the Kingdom, its accomplishments and successes on its path of prosperity and development.
Crown Prince Mohammed briefed the ministers on his participation at the emergency meeting of the Supreme Council of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and Arab-Islamic summit in Doha on Monday that tackled the fallout from Israel’s attack on Hamas leaders in Qatar last week.
The summits underlined full support to Qatar in confronting the heinous attack that violated international law and all international norms.
The cabinet welcomed the United Nations General Assembly’s adoption of the New York Declaration that was issued by the international conference on resolving the High-level International Conference for the Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine and the Implementation of the Two-State Solution that was co-chaired by Saudi Arabia and France in July.
Last week, the General Assembly endorsed the declaration with The General Assembly with 142 countries voting in favor.
