Saudi Ministry Criticizes UN for Blocking Palestine's Full Membership, Calls for Action against Israeli Occupation and Civilians in Gaza
The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs has expressed disappointment and concern over the UN Security Council's inability to pass a resolution granting full UN membership to the State of Palestine.
The ministry believes that this decision will perpetuate the challenges in the region, allowing Israeli occupation forces to continue their actions without consequences.
The ministry emphasized that the prevention of Palestine's full UN membership obstructs peace efforts and enables the persistence of violations of international law.
Saudi Arabia urges the international community to take decisive actions to halt civilian attacks in the Gaza Strip and support the Palestinian right to self-determination and statehood.
According to Saudi Arabia, this state should be established within the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem serving as its capital.
This aligns with the guidelines set forth in the Arab Peace Initiative and other relevant international resolutions.
