Saudi Arabia ( The COW News Digital)Saudi Arabia has issued a stern condemnation of Israel’s plans to illegally take control of Gaza City, denouncing the Israeli government for its brutal conduct and alleged crimes of ethnic cleansing against the Palestinian people. The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed deep concern over the escalating situation and reaffirmed its support for the Palestinian cause.
In an official statement, the Saudi Foreign Ministry condemned the Israeli occupying authorities for imposing hunger, engaging in violent behavior, and committing serious violations amounting to ethnic cleansing against the brotherly Palestinian population in Gaza. The ministry’s statement categorically rejected any Israeli attempts to establish control over Gaza and warned of the grave consequences such actions would entail.
This condemnation comes after the Israeli Security Cabinet approved a controversial plan to take full control of Gaza City, intensifying fears of further military operations and humanitarian crises in the densely populated enclave. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in an interview with the American news channel Fox News, declared that the Israeli military aims to secure control over all of Gaza.
Netanyahu clarified that Israel does not intend to permanently annex Gaza but plans to set up a security zone and eventually hand over authority to Arab forces, aiming to reshape the region’s security dynamics. This announcement has sparked widespread criticism and alarm from various countries and international organizations concerned about the potential escalation of conflict and the impact on civilians.
Saudi Arabia’s statement aligns with the broader Arab and international calls for restraint and the protection of Palestinian rights. The kingdom’s condemnation also highlights the ongoing regional tensions surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and underscores the urgent need for a peaceful resolution based on international law and respect for Palestinian self-determination.
The situation in Gaza remains volatile, with the risk of increased displacement, violence, and humanitarian disaster looming large. Saudi Arabia’s firm stance reflects its commitment to supporting Palestinians and opposing any measures that threaten their rights and sovereignty.
The international community continues to watch closely as developments unfold, with calls for dialogue, de-escalation, and humanitarian access to protect vulnerable populations in Gaza.
