RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan said on Monday that Israel’s continued violations of international law in Palestine undermine international efforts to achieve a two-state solution.
He made the comments at the 21st extraordinary session of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, held at the organization’s headquarters in Jeddah.
Prince Faisal said the Palestinian people are facing “the most horrific forms of oppression and genocide” due to Israel’s ongoing assault.
He said that “international silence regarding these crimes exacerbates the tragedy and undermines prospects for peace and security in the region and the world.”
Israel has been conducting a devastating war on the Palestinian enclave and has this month approved plans to occupy Gaza, a move condemned by the international community.
