RIYADH: Saudi Arabia on Monday praised the recognition of Palestine by Brazil and Argentina as an important development in international support for the legitimate rights of Palestinians.
The Council of Ministers, chaired by Crown Prince Sultan, deputy premier and minister of defense and aviation, also denounced the Israeli move to Judaize Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque’s surroundings. Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay recognized Palestine recently as an independent state based on 1967 borders before the six-day war in which Israel seized Gaza and the West Bank. The Cabinet meeting at Al-Yamamah Palace in Riyadh urged the Arab and Islamic Ummah to take a decisive stand to prevent Israel’s flagrant violations that would destabilize the region and the entire world.
The Cabinet reviewed the outcome of last week’s GCC summit in Abu Dhabi, saying the resolutions taken by the two-day conference reflected the hopes and aspirations of the GCC countries and people.
