Saudi Cabinet welcomes ceasefire between Syrian government and SDF, condemns Gaza ceasefire violations
RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s Cabinet on Tuesday welcomed a ceasefire between the Syrian government and the Syrian Democratic Forces, reiterated the Kingdom’s support for resolving regional and international disputes through dialogue, and condemned Israeli violations of the Gaza ceasefire.
The Cabinet, chaired by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, said breaches in the Palestinian territory undermined efforts to stabilize the truce and advance the second phase of the peace plan, stressing the need for a just and lasting settlement that enabled Palestinians to establish an independent state.
In a statement carried by the Saudi Press Agency, Minister of Media Salman Al-Dossary said that ministers welcomed cooperation between the Syrian government and the SDF, supported by Saudi Arabia and the US, which led to a ceasefire agreement aimed at promoting peace, stability and national unity in Syria.
The Cabinet reviewed outcomes from several major international events hosted by the Kingdom, including the second Ministerial Council meeting of the Green Middle East Initiative, which expanded membership to 35 countries and reaffirmed commitments to plant more than 22 billion trees and rehabilitate 92 million hectares of land, SPA added.
