Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said in a televised address on Wednesday that Gaza is Palestinian land and the rights of its people “cannot be taken away by any aggression.”
Speaking at the opening of the second year of the Shura Council’s ninth session, Prince Mohammed said that the Kingdom’s efforts have helped secure international support for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The Crown Prince said that Saudi Arabia rejected and condemned Israel’s “assaults” in the region, the latest being Tuesday’s attack on Doha.
“The brutal aggression against the sisterly state of Qatar requires Arab, Islamic and international action,” he said.
Arab and Islamic countries plan to hold an emergency summit in the capital of Qatar soon, Sky News Arabia reported.
