Saudi Arabia Condemns Israeli Ministers' Remarks on Displacing Gazans

Riyadh – Saudi Arabia, through its foreign ministry, has issued a statement condemning the recent remarks made by two Israeli ministers calling for the displacement of Palestinians from Gaza. The Kingdom expressed its categorical rejection of these extremist comments and emphasized its commitment to supporting the rights and well-being of the Palestinian people.

The statement released by the Saudi Press Agency conveyed the Kingdom's strong condemnation of the remarks made by Israel's Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir. The ministers' calls for displacing the population of Gaza were met with firm disapproval from Saudi Arabia.

The international community has also voiced their concerns regarding these statements. Even staunch allies such as the US government have condemned these remarks, recognizing their potential to escalate tensions in an already volatile region.

Since October, when Hamas operatives raided settlements adjacent to Gaza resulting in casualties among both Israelis and Palestinians, over 22,000 lives have been lost in Gaza primarily due to Israeli bombing. The ongoing conflict continues to inflict immense suffering on innocent civilians caught in this tragic situation.
