Outrage in Saudi Arabia over Jerusalem UNRWA HQ attack

Saudi Arabia Condemns Israeli Settlers’ Attack on UNRWA Headquarters

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Saudi Arabia has strongly denounced the recent attack carried out by Israeli settlers on the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) headquarters in occupied Jerusalem. This brazen act took place in full view of Israeli occupation police.

In a statement issued on Thursday, the ministry placed blame squarely on the Israeli occupation for the repeated atrocities committed against innocent civilians and aid workers within humanitarian organizations. The statement reiterated the Kingdom’s urgent plea for the global community to ramp up efforts in halting all legal and humanitarian transgressions, and to ensure that the Israeli occupation is held accountable for its ongoing violations of international laws and standards.
