The Israeli occupation forces' barbaric massacres of Palestinians are severely condemned by the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The events at Rafah and throughout the occupied Palestinian areas are entirely the responsibility of the Israeli authorities, according to the Kingdom.
The Kingdom exhorts the international community to keep its word and bring those behind the massacres to justice.
Riyadh, 1 June 2024, The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemns and denounces anew the atrocity crimes of genocide committed by the forces of Israeli occupation against the Palestinian people. The new targeting of helpless tents of Palestinian refugees in Rafah is one of these massacres. The Kingdom holds the full responsibility of these events at Rafah and across the occupied Palestinian areas with the Israeli authorities. The Kingdom further holds that the current unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe facing the Palestinian people is a direct result of the ongoing flagrant disregard of all international and humanitarian resolutions, laws, and norms by the Israeli occupation forces, coupled with a dubious international community's silence. It also puts at risk the status of firms with international recognition. The Kingdom wishes to underscore how it is more critical than ever for the international community to shoulder its responsibilities to bring the murderers against the Palestinian people to an immediate stop and ensure those responsible are brought to justice.
