According to the Saudi Foreign Ministry, foreign ministers from Saudi Arabia and other Arab nations convened on Saturday in Amman, Jordan, to coordinate efforts to put an end to "Israel's" war with Hamas and the ensuing humanitarian disaster.
The Saudi statement explained that "Foreign Minister HH Prince Faisal bin Farhan participates in the Arab coordination meeting held in Jordan, to coordinate endeavors to reach a cessation of the Israeli war on Gaza and the humanitarian disaster it induces."
According to the Egyptian ministry previously, the foreign ministers of Jordan, Egypt, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and the Palestinian Authority also attended the conference.
After meeting with Israeli officials, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Jordan on Friday, where the diplomats reaffirmed their stance on the aggression against Gaza.
The Saudi ministry added that the summit expressed concern regarding the danger in Gaza as well as the "role of the international community to assume its responsibilities towards stopping military operations, the bloodshed of unarmed civilians, and finding a just and comprehensive solution for the Palestinian people."
The Israeli occupation continues to bombard residential areas, hospitals, ambulances, UN schools, as well as vital infrastructure in the Gaza Strip amid a stifling blockade that has banned the entry of vital resources, such as fuel, food, and medicine, with the health sector being seriously jeopardized by the stifling siege.
By the 29th day of the Israeli aggression on Gaza, the number of martyrs has reached 9,488, including 3,900 children and 2,509 women, as per the Gaza Ministry of Health. Additionally, there are 24,158 wounded individuals, with approximately 2,000 people still trapped under the debris, including 1,250 children.
"I didn’t get the chance to see you grow up."
