RIYADH: Saudi Arabia categorically rejects any infringement on the rights of the Palestinian people, the Kingdom’s Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan said on Tuesday.
During a speech that he delivered at an extraordinary Arab League summit in Cairo on countering US President Donald Trump’s widely condemned plan for Gaza, Prince Faisal stressed the rejection of Israeli settlements and attempts to displace Palestinians.
“We stress the need for international guarantees and UN resolutions that impose the sustainability of the truce in the Gaza Strip,” Prince Faisal told the gathering of Arab leaders.
He added that the Kingdom supported the two-state solution and the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination.
The reconstruction of Gaza must be carried out while its people remain in the territory and the Kingdom supports measures taken by the Palestinian Authority to ensure security and stability, Prince Faisal added.
The final statement adopted by the summit called for the deployment of an international protection and peacekeeping force in the Palestinian territories.
It condemned the recent Israeli decision to stop the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip and close the crossings used for relief work.
It adopted the plan submitted by Egypt with regard to Gaza, in full coordination with Palestine and Arab countries.
It also emphasized the achievement of a just and comprehensive peace that fulfils the rights of the Palestinian people.
