Saudi Arabia's current priority is permanent ceasefire in Gaza: Foreign minister

Al Arabiyaa day ago
Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan said on Friday that the Kingdom's current priority is reaching a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, when asked about the possibility of normalizing ties with Israel.
He was speaking during a visit to Moscow.
'What we are seeing is the Israelis are crushing Gaza, the civilian population of Gaza,' he said. 'This is completely unnecessary, completely unacceptable and has to stop.'
Saudi Arabia has repeatedly stated its firm stance that there can be no normalization of ties with Israel without the creation of a Palestinian state.
The local health ministry in Gaza says more than 57,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israel's assault on the region since an October 7 attack on Israel by the Palestinian group Hamas.

Ex-presenter Gary Lineker criticizes BBC for dropping Gaza documentary

LONDON: Former BBC presenter and football star Gary Lineker said the broadcaster 'should hold its head in shame' after deciding not to show a documentary on medics working in Gaza. Accusing executives of bowing to pressure 'from the top,' Lineker made the remarks during a private screening of 'Gaza: Doctors Under Attack,' where media reports say he was visibly moved. It was the first time he had publicly criticized the BBC since his departure, which followed backlash over a social media post perceived as having antisemitic connotations — something he later apologized for. After the screening, Lineker said the documentary, originally commissioned by the broadcasting giant, 'needed to be seen. It really did need to be seen.' He added: 'I think the BBC should hold its head in shame. I've worked for the corporation for 30 years; to see the way it's declined in the last year or two has been devastating really. I've defended it and defended it against claims that it is partial.' The documentary, which features first-hand accounts from Palestinian medical workers and investigates alleged attacks on hospitals and healthcare facilities, was pulled by the BBC over concerns about impartiality. The decision sparked an outcry from pro-Palestinian groups after another documentary on Gaza's children was taken down when it emerged the main narrator was the son of a Hamas official. Lineker said that while the BBC 'talks about impartiality all the time,' the reality was that the broadcaster was 'bowing to pressure from the top,' something he described as deeply concerning. 'I think the time is coming when a lot of people will have to answer for this,' he added, warning that 'complicity is something that will come to many.' The BBC has recently been accused of biased, pro-Israel coverage of the war in Gaza. Earlier this week hundreds of media professionals, including over 100 current BBC staff, accused the broadcaster of acting as 'PR for the Israeli government.' In an open letter, they raised concerns over the role of board member Sir Robbie Gibb in the BBC's coverage of Gaza. Gibb helped lead the consortium that purchased The Jewish Chronicle in 2020 and served as a director until August 2024. The letter described his position on the BBC board — including on the editorial standards committee — as 'untenable,' citing the Jewish Chronicle's alleged history of publishing 'anti-Palestinian and often racist content.'

Gaza civil defense says 20 killed in Israeli operations

GAZA CITY, Palestinian Territories: Gaza's civil defense agency said Israeli military operations killed 20 people across the war-battered territory on Saturday, after nearly 21 months of war. Israel has recently expanded its military operations in the Gaza Strip, where the war has created dire humanitarian conditions for the Palestinian territory's population of more than two million. Media restrictions in Gaza and difficulties in accessing many areas mean AFP is unable to independently verify the tolls and details provided by the civil defense agency. Civil defense spokesman Mahmud Bassal said five of the dead were killed in a strike on a school in Gaza City. A second strike near another school in the city where displaced civilians had found shelter killed three people and wounded around 10, including children, he said. Many Gazans have sought shelter in schools and other public buildings since the war began with Hamas's October 2023 attack on Israel. Contacted by AFP, the Israeli military said it could not comment on specific attacks without precise coordinates. The latest strikes came hours after Hamas said it was ready to start talks 'immediately' on a US-sponsored proposal for a Gaza ceasefire. The proposal came ahead of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's departure for talks on Monday in Washington, where US President Donald Trump has intensified calls for an end to the war. Hamas's October 2023 attack resulted in the deaths of 1,219 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on Israeli official figures. Out of 251 hostages seized by Palestinian militants on October 7, 2023, 49 are still held in Gaza, including 27 the Israeli military says are dead. Israel's retaliatory military campaign has killed more than 57,000 people in Gaza, also mostly civilians, according to the Hamas-run territory's health ministry. The United Nations considers its figures reliable.

During a meeting with the Saudi ambassador to Japan, Dr. Ghazi bin Faisal Binzagr, Al-Asali stressed the importance of free trade negotiations with Japan as they emphasized the commitment of both Saudi Arabia and the GCC countries to enhancing relations with Japan and achieving the goals of the Saudi-Japanese Vision 2030. The Kingdom's delegation included representatives from the Ministry of Energy, Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources, Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture, Ministry of Investment, Ministry of Economy and Planning, Saudi Food and Drug Authority, Saudi Authority for Intellectual Property, Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization, Saudi Export Development Authority, Communications, Space and Technology Commission, Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority, and the Saudi Central Bank. • This article also appeared on Arab News Japan
