DUBAI: The deputy ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Maktoum bin Mohammed Al Maktoum, has paid a visit to the Saudi pavilion in the GITEX Technology Week 2022 in Dubai that concluded on Oct. 14, 2022. 

The Saudi Ministry of Interior set up the pavilion under the theme “Absher for A Safe Homeland" for the 8th time through a unified platform that brings together the security and service bodies in the ministry.

The five themes included the impact of “Absher” in achieving digital transformation at the level of ministry, enhancing security and reducing all forms of crime, enhancing civil and traffic safety, and services for Hajj and Umrah performers, in addition to the ministry’s efforts to achieve sustainable development.

Saudi Foreign Ministry: Israel's decision on the West Bank undermines efforts to achieve peace and stability

Saudi Arabia condemned Israel's decision to take control of parts of the West Bank, warning the move would undermine efforts to achieve peace and stability, in a statement by the Foreign Ministry on X. 

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expresses the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s condemnation of the Israeli occupation authorities’ decision to rename the West Bank as “State Lands,” affiliated with the occupation authorities, as part of plans aimed at imposing a new legal and administrative reality in the occupied West Bank, and undermining the ongoing efforts to achieve peace and stability in the region," the Foreign Ministry said on Monday. 

The Ministry said Israel had no right over Palestinian territories and was undermining the two state solution, reafirming the kingdoms support for a independent Palestinain State. 

Israel’s cabinet on Sunday approved ‌further measures to tighten Israel’s control over the occupied West Bank and make it easier for settlers to buy land, in a move Palestinians called “a ​de-facto annexation.” The move has been widely crticised by Arab countries including Qatar, Egypt and Jordan.
