The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs has conveyed its disappointment regarding the recent outcome at the UN Security Council, where a proposed resolution advocating full UN membership for the State of Palestine failed to gain traction.
Expressing regret over this development, the ministry highlighted the detrimental impact of such decisions on the region, particularly in perpetuating the actions of Israeli occupation forces without accountability.
Emphasizing the significance of Palestine's full UN membership in advancing peace endeavors, the ministry underscored the urgent need to address ongoing violations of international law.
Saudi Arabia reiterated its steadfast stance in advocating for decisive measures from the international community to halt attacks on civilians in Gaza while supporting the legitimate right of Palestinians to self-determination and statehood. The envisioned state, as reaffirmed by Saudi Arabia, should be established within the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem serving as its capital, in accordance with the principles outlined in the Arab Peace Initiative and relevant international resolutions.
