Riyadh, March 7, 2024, The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has strongly condemned the decision by the Israeli occupation to approve the construction of approximately 3,500 new settlement units in the occupied West Bank, according to a statement from the Foreign Ministry.
The Kingdom denounced the attempt to annex large areas of the West Bank, including Al-Quds (Jerusalem), considering it a violation of international resolutions, international human rights law, and United Nations resolutions. Such actions were criticized for obstructing opportunities for peace and stability in the region.
Furthermore, the Kingdom reiterated the importance of ending the suffering of the Palestinian people, providing them with hope, securing their rights to live safely, and establishing their Palestinian state on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital. This position aligns with the Arab Peace Initiative and relevant international resolutions.
