Calling on Israel to end settlement expansion in the West Bank and occupied Jerusalem,Saudi Arabia said continuing such aggressive policies obstructs peace efforts and poses a serious threat to achieving a two-state solution.
The kingdom emphasized that the international community must fulfill its legal and moral responsibilities toward Palestinians by recognizing their state. It urged forcing Israel to cease its aggression against Gaza and stop illegal actions in both the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
The international community must also hold Israel accountable for crimes against Palestinians, halt what it described as genocide, and bring perpetrators to justice.
