NEW YORK: Saudi Arabia has underlined the importance of political missions committing to the UN Charter and the mandate given to them to carry out their tasks, saying that this mandate should not be confused with interference in states’ internal affairs.
Addressing the Special Policies and Decolonization Committee, Yazeed Al-Zahrani, third secretary and member of the Kingdom’s permanent mission to the UN, said that special political missions are one of the UN key pillars to achieve international stability and security based on the notion of collective security.
The missions also promote diplomacy through efforts to prevent and contain conflicts in order to attain sustainable peace in accordance with UN principles.
Al-Zahrani said that the special political missions’ role and main goal remain preventing conflicts, and helping states facing conflict to build peace and reach stability, as well as protecting citizens and providing them with basic services.
In this context, Saudi Arabia provides support to help UN missions to fulfill their obligations and perform their tasks, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
The Kingdom has spared no effort in supporting the UN agencies and missions, Al-Zahrani said.

KSrelief initiates treatment in Jordan for cancer-stricken Gaza girl
- Roza Al-Dreimli was transferred to Jordan through the initiative of KSrelief, amid the Gaza war that has destroyed hospitals
- She is currently under assessment and observation at the King Hussein Cancer Center, ahead of treatment
AMMAN: A cancer-stricken Palestinian girl from Gaza is now undergoing clinical observation prior to treatment at a specialist hospital in Jordan, thanks to the Saudi aid agency KSrelief.
Roza Al-Dreimli was transported to Amman from the Gaza Strip through the initiative of the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) as part of Saudi Arabia’s continued commitment to providing life-saving aid and medical care to Palestinians suffering from critical health conditions, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported on Friday.
The report said that Roza’s case was prioritized due to the complexity of her condition, as assessments indicated a need for advanced treatment of cancerous cells at the base of the brain. She is now at the King Hussein Cancer Center (KHCC).
"Under the supervision of a medical team specialized in pediatric brain tumors, she is currently undergoing intensive clinical monitoring and precise periodic examinations to assess the tumor’s response to treatment, ensure control of the condition, and prevent any potential neurological or visual complications resulting from the tumor’s location," SPA said.
The family expressed profound gratitude for KSrelief’s swift intervention, noting that the specialized care provided at KHCC has renewed their hope for their daughter’s recovery.
Such specialized care is currently unavailable in the Gaza Strip because of the destruction of hospitals during 26 months of bombardment by the Israeli military.
Israel systematically destroyed homes and commercial buildings and infrastructure in the Palestinian enclave in retaliation to the Oct. 7, 2023, raid by Hamas of Israeli border villages, during which the militant group killed more than 1,200 people and took 254 hostages.
