The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Saudi Arabia strongly condemned the Israeli Knesset’s vote to reject the establishment of a Palestinian state and far-right Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir storming Al-Aqsa Mosque.
It stressed that “these practices hinder any progress aimed at sparing the blood of innocent people and achieving a just and comprehensive peace.”
This comes after the Israeli Knesset voted overwhelmingly, late on Wednesday, to reject the establishment of a Palestinian state even as part of a peace deal.
The International Court of Justice, the highest judicial body of the United Nations, is expected to announce today its advisory opinion regarding the legal consequences of Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories since 1967.
