The
Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed the Kingdom’s strong condemnation and
denunciation of the Israeli statements regarding the Philadelphi Corridor, and
the futile attempts to justify the continued Israeli violations of
international laws and norms. In a statement carried by the Saudi Press Agency,
the ministry vowed its solidarity and support for Egypt in the face of these
Israeli allegations.
Saudi Arabia warned of the consequences of these provocative
statements, and their repercussions in undermining the mediation efforts being
undertaken by Egypt, Qatar, and the United States of America, to reach a
permanent ceasefire.
The
ministry stated that such provocative statements would increase the severity of
the dangerous escalation witnessed by the region. It also emphasized the
importance of putting an end to the suffering of the Palestinian people, and
the necessity of concerted international efforts to enable them to exercise
their inherent right to self-determination, and establish their independent
state on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.
The ministry statement comes in the wake of the recent
statement of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the Philadelphi
Corridor will be under the control of Israel in any ceasefire deal.
