KSA Leads Arab-Islamic Call for Gaza Aid

The Ministerial Committee assigned by the Joint Arab-Islamic Extraordinary Summit on Gaza, including Saudi Arabia, has welcomed the joint statement by the leaders of the UK, France, and Canada. This statement condemns Israel’s continued military actions in Gaza and the West Bank and demands immediate, unimpeded humanitarian access to the region.

Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 embraces cultural diplomacy, regional peace, and international cooperation. The Kingdom is at the forefront of this humanitarian push, calling out the weaponization of aid and advocating for full restoration of basic services—such as food, water, and electricity—for the people of Gaza.

The Committee condemned Israel’s plans to limit aid and criticized its attempts to militarize humanitarian delivery, warning that these actions contravene the UN Charter and international humanitarian law. The collective Arab-Islamic voice insists that Israel must cease its aggression and end the illegal blockade that pushes Gaza toward famine.

Saudi Arabia stands firm in upholding humanitarian principles. It calls for an immediate and permanent ceasefire, the implementation of a hostages-detainees release deal, and the resumption of reconstruction efforts in Gaza—guided by the Arab Peace Initiative.

As part of this broader peace framework, the Kingdom is also preparing to co-chair a UN High-Level International Conference in New York this June, alongside France, to advance the two-state solution and reinforce its vision of peaceful coexistence between Israel and Palestine.
