Saudi Arabia and Jordan Express Regret Over UN's Rejection of Palestine Membership, Renew Calls for International Action
Saudi Arabia expressed regret over the UN Security Council's failure to adopt a resolution granting full membership of Palestine in the UN.
In a tweet, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that this failure allows Israel to continue violating international law without consequences, and will not bring peace closer.
The ministry reiterated Saudi Arabia's call for the international community to take action to stop Israeli attacks on civilians in Gaza.

The country expressed regret over the US veto of a UN resolution admitting Palestine as a full member.
Jordan's foreign ministry stated that the international community backs the two-state solution, which Israel is undermining, and urged the Security Council to recognize the Palestinian state to prevent Israel from denying the Palestinian people their freedom and statehood.
The Jordanian ministry spokesperson, Sufian Qudah, emphasized the importance of recognizing a Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital based on the pre-1967 borders.
This recognition is crucial for achieving peace, ending the conflict, and ensuring security and stability for all peoples in the region.
