ANTALYA —
Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan on Friday rejected any proposal involving the forced displacement of Palestinians. He stressed that the residents of Gaza are deprived of the basic necessities of life.



Speaking at the meeting of the Ministerial Committee for International Action to End the War on Gaza, held in Antalya, Turkey, Prince Faisal reaffirmed Saudi Arabia’s refusal of any scenario that includes removing Palestinians from their land.

He criticized attempts to link the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza to a ceasefire, and urged the international community to intensify efforts to secure unimpeded aid delivery.



Prince Faisal reiterated the Kingdom’s support for ongoing ceasefire negotiations and commended the mediation efforts led by Egypt and Qatar.

A joint communiqué issued after the meeting denounced any form of forced displacement or expulsion of Palestinians from Gaza, the West Bank, or East Jerusalem.

The statement supported the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) and encouraged the unification of Gaza and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, under the Palestinian Authority.

The committee also called for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in accordance with UN resolutions and condemned Israeli violations of international law in the occupied territories, including settlement expansion, home demolitions, and land confiscations.
