- It additionally called on Israel to stop being aggressive in the Gaza Strip and demanded that all Israeli occupation troops must leave the area before it can have any more diplomatic talks with Israel.

- A statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs says that Saudi Arabia has an unchanged position on the Palestinian issue and underlines how important it is for the Palestinian people to get their legal rights.

- This stance is especially important now in light of ongoing discussions between Saudi Arabia and the US, as they are talking about the Arab-Israeli peace process. Recent words from a spokesman for the U.S. National Security Council have made this point even more clear. Read : Saudi Arabia welcomed over 100 million tourists, sets new target now
