Saudi cabinet reaffirms its rejection of Israeli violations of international law

The Saudi Council of Ministers reiterated on Tuesday its firm rejection of Israel's ongoing violations of international resolutions and laws.

The cabinet emphasized the urgent need for international intervention to alleviate the unprecedented humanitarian crisis faced by the Palestinian people.

At the outset of the session, King Salman extended his appreciation to those who sent well-wishes for his health and well-being.

The cabinet then reviewed messages exchanged between King Salman and the President of the Republic of Senegal, as well as communications between the Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and leaders from the French Republic and Japan. These communications focused on enhancing bilateral relations and opportunities for development across various fields.

The council commended the success of the Future of Aviation Conference 2024 held in Riyadh, highlighting broad international participation, the signing of over 100 agreements and memorandums of understanding, and investments announced, contributing to advancements in the aviation sector and consolidating the Kingdom's position regionally and globally.

The council also acknowledged new world records achieved by the Kingdom in reducing the cost of wind energy production, supporting efforts to diversify energy sources, export renewable energy, and increase the use of clean energy, aligning with local and international environmental conservation objectives.

Saudi defense minister receives Mukalla port director, thanks him for heroic role

  • Prince Khalid thanked Basamir for his heroic and humanitarian role in ensuring safety and protecting lives and property at the port

RIYADH: Saudi Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman received the director of the Port of Mukalla Salem Basamir on Tuesday.
In a post on social media platform X, Prince Khalid thanked Basamir for his heroic and humanitarian role in ensuring safety and protecting lives and property at the port.
The Coalition to Support Legitimacy in Yemen carried out a limited airstrike in December targeting foreign military support at the Port of Mukalla in the Hadramaut governorate, where calm has been restored after a period of tension.
In a statement carried by the Saudi Press Agency following the strikes, coalition spokesman Major General Turki Al-Maliki said two ships coming from the port of Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates entered the Port of Mukalla without obtaining official permits from the Joint Forces Command of the Coalition.
“The crews of the two ships disabled their tracking systems and unloaded a large quantity of weapons and combat vehicles to support the Southern Transitional Council forces in the eastern governorates of Yemen (Hadramaut and Al-Mahra) with the aim of fueling the conflict. This is a clear violation of the truce and the pursuit of a peaceful solution, as well as a violation of UN Security Council Resolution No. 2216,” said the spokesman.
