Saudi Arabia Condemns Israeli Violations And Urges International Community To Act At UNHRC

Ambassador Abdulmohsen bin Khothaila, Saudi Arabia's permanent representative to the United Nations in Geneva, has voiced strong condemnation of Israel's actions against Palestinians. He highlighted the systematic targeting of civilians during his address to the UN Human Rights Council. The ambassador criticised Israel's establishment of an agency for displacing Palestinians from Gaza and the approval of illegal settlements in the West Bank.

He also condemned Israel's bombing of Syrian territories, stating that such attacks threaten Syria's security and regional stability. The ambassador urged the global community to take responsibility and stop these violations.

He called for international efforts to halt all Israeli military operations in Palestinian and Syrian areas.

In his speech, Ambassador bin Khothaila emphasised Saudi Arabia's full support for Syria, urging respect for its sovereignty.

He concluded by affirming Saudi Arabia’s solidarity with both the Syrian government and its people. The ambassador highlighted that achieving peace requires addressing Palestinian rights and respecting Syria’s territorial integrity.
