Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan discussed, on Sunday, with his counterparts in Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Bahrain and Gambia, the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and support for the rights of the Palestinian people.

This came during separate phone calls made by the Saudi Foreign Minister with his counterparts in Turkey, Hakan Fidan, Egypt, Badr Abdel Aati, Jordan, Ayman Safadi, Bahrain, Abdul Latif Al-Zayani, and Gambia, Mamadou Tangara, according to separate statements from the Saudi Foreign Ministry.

Bin Farhan discussed with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan “the latest developments in the Palestinian issue within the framework of the efforts of Islamic countries aimed at restoring the legitimate rights of the State of Palestine and its brotherly people, and intensifying joint coordination to cease fire and Israeli violations.”

The Saudi and Egyptian foreign ministers also discussed “the latest developments in the Palestinian territories, and strengthening joint Arab and Islamic action to achieve an immediate cessation of all serious Israeli violations, and support ensuring the establishment of a secure and stable Palestinian state.”

The Saudi and Jordanian foreign ministers also discussed “the latest developments in the Palestinian territories, the need for an immediate ceasefire, and support for all Arab and Islamic efforts aimed at achieving a just and comprehensive solution for the brotherly Palestinian people by establishing their independent state.”

Bin Farhan discussed with his Bahraini counterpart “the latest developments in the Palestinian territories, and ways to intensify Arab-Islamic action in support of the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.”

The Saudi and Gambian foreign ministers discussed “the latest developments in the Palestinian territories.”

He stressed "the importance of intensifying Arab-Islamic efforts to stop all forms of Israeli violations against the State of Palestine and its brotherly people, in addition to discussing the efforts made in this regard."

Earlier on Sunday, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman made two phone calls with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, and discussed with them “the need to intensify efforts to stop Israeli attacks and violations and the escalation in Gaza and the West Bank.”

In conjunction with its war on Gaza since October 7, the Israeli army expanded its operations in the West Bank, while settlers escalated their attacks, resulting in the martyrdom of 676 Palestinians, including 150 children, the injury of more than 5,400, and the arrest of more than 10,200, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.

With full American support, Israel waged a war on Gaza that resulted in nearly 135,000 Palestinian martyrs and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 10,000 missing, amidst massive destruction and famine that claimed the lives of dozens.
