Saudi Arabia strongly condemned Israel’s decision on Wednesday to approve the construction of approximately 3,500 new settlement units in the West Bank, along with attempts to annex wide portions, including Jerusalem.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated in a press release that this decision contradicts international resolutions, international human rights law, and United Nations charters, obstructing the prospects for peace and stability in the region.
Saudi Arabia reiterated the necessity of ending the suffering and providing hope for the Palestinian people, enabling them to secure their rights to live safely and establish their Palestinian state within the 1967 borders with its capital in East Jerusalem, in accordance with the Arab Peace Initiative and relevant international resolutions.
