Via Yusra Asif in alarabiya.net: Saudi Arabia calls for the creation of an independent Palestinian state to protect the rights of the Palestinian people, the Kingdom’s deputy foreign minister said during the United Nations Security Council debate as he urged the council to take a firm stance against Israeli military occupation in the region. According to reports from the official Saudi Press Agency (SPA), Saudi’s Vice Foreign Minister Waleed el-Khereji on Wednesday condemned the forced displacement of Palestinians and rejected Israel’s statements of self-defense as an excuse to continuously bomb Gaza, leading to mass displacement in the besieged enclave.
