Foreign Ministry: Kingdom Strongly Condemns Israeli Military Escalation in Northern, Southern Gaza, Expansion of Occupation Across Strip

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia strongly condemns the Israeli occupation’s military escalation in the northern and southern parts of the Gaza Strip, as well as its expansion in occupying large areas of the territory. Such actions contradict the will of the international community, violate human rights law and United Nations charters, and hinder prospects for peace and stability in the region.
 The Kingdom reiterates its condemnation and denunciation of all ground operations carried out by the Israeli occupation, as they pose a threat to the lives of Palestinian civilians and exacerbate the humanitarian suffering of Gaza’s population. The Kingdom warns of the grave consequences of continuing these blatant and unjustified violations, which constitute a clear breach of international law and the rights of the Palestinian people.
