Saudi Foreign Ministry: The displacement of Palestinians through Rafah is a crime we will not accept

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia expressed its strong condemnation of the repeated statements made by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding the displacement of Palestinians from their land, including through the Rafah crossing, considering these practices a continuation of the policies of siege and starvation aimed at imposing forced displacement, in blatant violation of international laws and humanitarian principles, according to a statement from the Saudi Foreign Ministry.

The Kingdom affirmed its full support for the Arab Republic of Egypt in this matter, emphasizing that the international community, especially the permanent members of the Security Council, are required to intervene immediately to stop the Israeli aggressive policies against the Palestinian people and their land, and to reject all forms of displacement regardless of their justifications.

Saudi Arabia also renewed its demand for holding the occupying authorities accountable for the crimes of genocide and grave violations against civilians, calling for an immediate end to them and providing protection for the Palestinian people, and ensuring their legitimate rights to establish their independent state on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital, considering this the only way to achieve security and stability in the region.
