Saudi Arabia Supports Palestinian Pilgrims

Israa Farhan Saudi Arabia's King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud has issued a directive to host 1,000 Palestinian pilgrims at his own expense to perform Hajj for the Islamic year 1446 AH. The announcement was made on Monday by Sheikh Dr. Abdullatif bin Abdulaziz Al Al-Sheikh, Minister of Islamic Affairs, Dawah and Guidance, and the General Supervisor of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques' Guests Program for Hajj, Umrah, and Visit. He emphasized that this generous gesture reflects the Kingdom's steadfast support for the Palestinian people and its commitment to strengthening Islamic unity and solidarity. 'This royal directive is part of Saudi Arabia's ongoing efforts to ease the Hajj pilgrimage for Palestinians and provide comprehensive support throughout their spiritual journey,' said Al Al-Sheikh. He added that the Ministry immediately began preparing an integrated plan to ensure a smooth and dignified pilgrimage experience. The support will begin from the moment pilgrims depart Palestine until they return, covering all aspects of travel, accommodation, and logistics during their stay in Makkah and Madinah. Since the launch of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques' Guests Program in 1417 AH, the initiative has hosted over 64,000 pilgrims from around the world. This continued generosity highlights Saudi Arabia's leading role in serving Islam and Muslims and its central position as the spiritual heart of the Islamic world. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies
