Saudi Arabia's Permanent Representative to the United Nations Ambassador Dr. Abdulaziz Alwasil delivered the Kingdom's statement before the Security Council session in New York on "The situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question”.
The meeting was held under the auspices of the Federal Republic of Somalia.
Alwasil stated that Saudi Arabia has recently signed the accession document to the Peace Council, led by the United States under the chairmanship of President Donald Trump, in support of the Council’s role as a transitional body in accordance with Security Council Resolution 2803.
He reiterated the Kingdom’s demand for the full implementation of the ceasefire agreement in all its phases and provisions, along with the opening of crossings to allow the delivery of humanitarian assistance.
Alwasil emphasized the Kingdom's rejection of Israel's flagrant violations of international and humanitarian norms and laws and condemned the targeting of the headquarters of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) and the obstruction of its operations.
He stressed that the only way to achieve a just and comprehensive peace is through the consolidation of the ceasefire, the prevention of displacement, the rejection of any attempts to divide Gaza or undermine the unity of the Palestinian territories and ensuring a complete Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.
