LONDON: The UAE’s withdrawal from Yemen is the “building block” for a strong relationship with Saudi Arabia that will help regional stability, the Kingdom’s foreign minister said on Monday.
Prince Faisal bin Farhan said there had been a “difference of view” between the two countries over Yemen but insisted their relationship was “critically important.”
“It is an important element of regional stability and therefore the Kingdom is always keen on having a strong, positive relationship with the UAE as a important partner within the GCC,” Prince Faisal told a press conference during his visit to Poland.
“Obviously, when it comes to Yemen there is a difference of view. The UAE has now decided to leave Yemen, and I think if that indeed is the case and the UAE has completely left the issue of Yemen, then the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will take responsibility.
“I think that will be the building block for making sure that the relationship with UAE continues strong and continues to serve the interest not just of both countries but the region.”

KSrelief distributes winter aid to Gaza students
RIYADH: The Saudi aid agency KSrelief recently distributed winter clothing to students at educational sites in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip as part of its campaign to support the Palestinian people.
The initiative addresses the growing needs of students continuing their education under difficult circumstances, with classes held in tents after most schools and educational facilities were destroyed.
Meanwhile, the 80th Saudi relief airplane operated by KSrelief arrived at El Arish International Airport in Egypt, in coordination with the Ministry of Defense and the Saudi Embassy in Cairo.
The airplane is carrying food baskets and shelter kits for distribution to affected Palestinians inside the Gaza Strip. The supplies are part of Saudi support to help alleviate the difficult living conditions in Gaza.
Since its establishment in 2015, KSrelief has implemented 147 projects in Palestine worth about $533 million, covering food security, early recovery, water, sanitation and hygiene, health, camp coordination, education, protection, emergency aid, and nutrition.
