Speaking on a panel at the European Council on Foreign Relations’ (ECFR) meeting in Spain’s capital Madrid this week, Saudi foreign minister, Prince Faisal bin Farhan, stressed that Israeli forces are violating the “basic principles” of international humanitarian law every day in Gaza and highlighted how Western nations could easily impose measures to prevent such crimes form further taking place.

“It would be very easy for Europe, in desire, to focus on humanitarian issues, to, at the very least, hold Israel accountable when it comes to whether or not it lives up to its responsibilities to allowing the civilian population of Gaza to have access to humanitarian needs”, said bin Farhan.

“The majority of the international community agrees that the permanent and just solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is the two-state solution, yet they stand idle in the face of matters that could undermine the two-state solution, such as Israel’s continued expansion of settlement activities.”

The foreign minister’s comments represent the kingdom’s sternest condemnation of Israel’s bloody offensive on the besieged Palestinian territory after almost nine months of its continuation, as well as the strongest expression of opposition to Israeli war crimes so far.

    The Saudis really are most two faced regime in the region, even more than Turkey and that’s quite an achievement. They know their population is overwhelmingly pro-Palestine so they have to put on this show every once in a while but they have never stopped being Zionist collaborationists and they don’t give two shits that their fellow Muslims and non-Muslim Arabs are being genocided in Gaza. Just like Turkey they will say one thing openly and continue to make deals with the entity behind the scenes.

    Actions speak louder than words. I will believe them when they start to actually do something material to help the Palestinian people and the Palestinian cause.

      That family is just a colonial administrator as are the Jordanian royalty and UAE royalty. They are all pets of America. The whole acceptance drive was just America trying to get all its bastard children to get along (no insult to dogs) via small geopolitical treats.

        At least the Jordanian and UAE regimes don’t even pretend. Everyone knows they are just Anglo-Zionist running dogs.

          True. Very true. They proudly serve the same purpose as isntrael in the region: de-development, and better yet for the empire, unlike isntrael they pay for the destabilization out of their own pockets.
