On Monday, Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince and Prime Minister, Mohammed bin Salman, urged Israel to stop its attacks on the Islamic Republic, while also accusing the Jewish state of carrying out a 'genocide' against Palestinians in Gaza.
Speaking at a conference in Riyadh with representatives from Muslim-majority nations focused on supporting the creation of a Palestinian state, the Kingdom’s de facto ruler condemned Jerusalem’s military operations along its borders, calling on the international community to "immediately halt Israeli actions against our brothers in Palestine and Lebanon."
Bin Salman continued his criticism by acknowledging his government’s “categorical rejection of the genocide committed by Israel against the brotherly Palestinian people, which has claimed the lives of 150,000 martyrs, wounded and missing, most of whom are women and children.”
“Israel’s continued criminal actions against innocent people, its violation of the sanctity of Al-Aqsa Mosque, and its undermining of the Palestinian Authority’s pivotal role in all Palestinian territories will hinder efforts to secure the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people and establish regional peace,” he added.
The autocratic son of King Salman also issued denouncements of Israel's recent attacks on the Iranian regime's armed forces, insisting that the IDF be compelled to “respect the sovereignty of the sisterly Islamic Republic of Iran and not violate its lands.”
Bin Salman, along with other attendees at the gathering, called for a complete Israeli withdrawal to within its 1967 borders.
