Foreign Minister Speaks with UK Foreign Secretary

Minister of Foreign Affairs Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah spoke by telephone with United Kingdom (UK) Foreign Secretary James Cleverly.

The two sides discussed developments in Gaza and its surroundings and international efforts made to address them, stressing the rejection of targeting civilians in any form, and the need for all parties to respect international humanitarian law.

The Foreign Minister urged the UK, in its capacity as a permanent member of the Security Council, to work to ensure that the council fulfills its responsibility to maintain international peace and security by pushing for an immediate cessation of military operations and lifting the siege on Gaza. He stressed the importance of the Security Council’s implementation of its decisions regarding the Palestinian issue, particularly Resolutions 242 from 1967, 338 from 1973, 1515 from 2003, and 2334 from 2016, to establish a just and sustainable solution to the Palestinian issue in accordance with the relevant international references.
