Gaza famine violates international law: Saudi FM
Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister, Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, has warned about the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza, describing it as a direct violation of international principles and laws.
“The suffering of the Palestinian people and the unprecedented humanitarian crisis in Gaza that has officially been classified as a famine by the IPC report runs counter to the principles of the Charter and international humanitarian law,” he said.
The minister added that the “brutal and unchecked practices of the occupying forces, including starvation, forced displacement and systematic killing” represented a blatant disregard for the rights of Palestinians.
“This is done in complete disregard of the historic and legal rights of the Palestinian people, with an aim to erase their legitimate rights.”
Saudi FM calls for ‘just and lasting’ solution to Palestinian issue
Al Saud called for urgent international efforts to end the conflict in Gaza and advance a lasting peace settlement. “It is time to find a just and lasting solution to the Palestinian issue. Military escalation will not achieve peace or security,” he said at the UN.
“The continued handling of the question of Palestine outside the frameworks of law and international legitimacy is what prolonged the violence and deepened the suffering here.”
Saudi Arabia has welcomed several countries that have recently recognised the Palestinian state, with the Saudi foreign minister saying such recognition was “an important step towards achieving the two-state solution and bolstering the path towards a just and lasting peace”.
Saudi Arabia warns Israeli aggression could escalate ‘acts of genocide’
Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud has urged the global community to act decisively to stop “Israeli aggression”, which could have “grave consequences”.
“The failure of international community to take firm actions to end the Israeli aggression and violation will only cause further instability and insecurity regionally and globally,” he told the UN General Assembly.
"Such inaction will have grave consequences and will escalate war crimes and acts of genocide.”
