Saudi Arabia calls for immediate halt to Israeli ground operation in Gaza

Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Ministry condemned on Saturday any ground operations by Israeli regime forces in Gaza that may threaten the lives of Palestinian civilians, denouncing an “unjustified” violation of international law.

The Kingdom called on the international community “to assume its responsibilities to immediately stop the military operation” in line with the UN General Assembly resolution issued on Friday “to save the lives of innocent people.”

For his side, the United Arab Emirates’ Foreign Ministry said it “condemned the ground operations by Israel,” with Abu Dhabi demanding “an immediate ceasefire to ensure that civilians and civilian institutions are not targeted.”
