Saudi Arabia Reiterates Continued Humanitarian Aid For Palestinians

The Minister of State, Member of the Cabinet, and National Security Adviser, Dr. Musaed bin Mohammed Al-Aiban, led Saudi Arabia's delegation at the Emergency Humanitarian Response Conference in Gaza. The conference took place yesterday in the Dead Sea region of Jordan. Dr. Al-Aiban delivered a speech affirming the Kingdom's ongoing humanitarian support for Palestinians.

Dr. Al-Aiban highlighted the Kingdom's campaign to aid Palestinians, which has surpassed SAR 700 million. He also mentioned the operation of air and sea bridges to deliver aid to Gaza. During the main session, he stressed the need for collective efforts to halt the humanitarian crisis caused by ongoing Israeli aggression against Gaza.

Dr. Al-Aiban called for intensified international efforts to stop this aggression and ensure the complete withdrawal of Israeli occupation forces. He emphasized the importance of delivering sufficient and sustainable humanitarian aid to all parts of Gaza and ensuring that displaced people can safely return to their homes.

He urged the international community to fulfil its responsibilities by halting Israeli aggression and working towards a just and comprehensive solution to the Palestinian issue. This solution should be based on international legitimacy resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative, guaranteeing Palestinians' right to establish an independent state on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.

Dr. Al-Aiban also called on the international community to hold Israeli authorities accountable for crimes and violations of international law and humanitarian law. He reiterated Saudi Arabia's support for international organizations' efforts amid Gaza's tragic conditions.

The Kingdom has signed agreements through the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) to implement urgent projects in cooperation with UN organizations. Dr. Al-Aiban welcomed positive decisions by Norway, Spain, Ireland, and Slovenia to recognize the State of Palestine.

The Saudi delegation included Advisor at the Royal Court and KSrelief General Supervisor Dr. Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Rabeeah, Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Eng. Waleed bin Abdulkarim El-Khereiji, and Saudi Ambassador to Jordan Nayef bin Bandar Al-Sudairi.
