Saudi Arabia and 7 countries condemn the escalation in Gaza and warn against undermining peace efforts
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and seven other countries have condemned the ongoing Israeli violations in the Gaza Strip, in an official joint statement expressing deep concern regarding recent developments on the ground.
The countries participating in the statement affirmed that these violations constitute a major obstacle to regional stability, warning that the continuation of military escalation could undermine all international efforts aimed at achieving a just and comprehensive peace.
This position came following U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement regarding the Palestinian factions' acceptance of a new roadmap, as the signatory countries believe that the current military operations contradict the proposed de-escalation efforts.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia emphasizes in its foreign policy the necessity of protecting civilians and halting violence, calling on the international community to shoulder its responsibilities toward the humanitarian crisis in Gaza to ensure that the situation does not deteriorate further.
This diplomatic move comes within the framework of the Kingdom's commitment to supporting the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people and emphasizing the importance of peaceful solutions to end the conflict and establish security in the Middle East.
