Saudi Arabis says Gaza’s war will affect local, global stability

(MENAFN) On Saturday, Saudi Arabia stressed that the world's inability to control the genocide being committed by Israel in Gaza threatens to destabilize the entire region and the world. The country demanded immediate, conclusive action to end the war and back Palestinian independence.

Prince Faisal bin Farhan, the Foreign Minister of Saudi Arabia, said to the 80th UN General Assembly in New York, “the international community’s inaction in restraining the (Israeli) aggression on Gaza will contribute to destabilizing security and stability regionally and globally.”

He called on the UN to take a more active role in resolving the conflict, stating that the international organization, “needs to become more efficient in reducing conflicts and crises.”

He urged for immediate international measures to protect civilians and open humanitarian passageways, emphasizing that "we must all act seriously to stop the aggression and guarantee the delivery of aid to Gaza’s residents."

Israel's full closure of Gaza's crossings since March 2 has blocked aid deliveries and intensified famine within the district. The small amount of aid that is from time to time permitted in is often stolen by armed groups. Gaza authorities allege Israel of failing to stop these armed groups or are actively protecting them.
