Saudi Minister of Foreign Affairs Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah, participated on Saturday in a panel discussion entitled: “Towards Stability and Peace in the Middle East: De-escalation Challenge" on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference 2024.

During the panel discussion, the Saudi foreign minister highlighted the importance of a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, noting that ending the humanitarian catastrophe occurring in the Strip is a priority.

His Highness urged the withdrawal of the Israeli occupation forces from Gaza, and increasing the access of humanitarian aid to the residents therein. Saudi minister also reiterated that the path to security and stability in the region, including Israel, can be realized through the establishment of a Palestinian state, calling on the international community to focus on this.

Prince Faisal also indicated that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's talks with the United States of America focused on many points in the Palestinian cause, and stressed that the urgent priority is tackling the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip, and the need to find a way to end the ongoing fighting there, while finding a way to ensure the access of humanitarian aid to the Strip.

Furthermore, the Saudi Minister of Foreign Affairs also pointed that the provocations by the Israeli occupation forces inevitably inflame the feelings of the Arab and Islamic nations, especially as the death toll is approaching 30,000 civilians and at least 17,000 children have become orphans as a result of the ongoing crisis.

His Highness also added that there is an ongoing human suffering in the Gaza Strip, including shortage in food, water, and medicine supplies, and that these Israeli provocations may serve the ideologies of terrorism and extremism around the world.
