Saudi Arabia condemns Israeli incursion into Lebanon

  • The Saudi Foreign Ministry called for respect of Lebanon’s sovereignty

RIYADH: The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned on Monday Israel’s aggression against Lebanon’s territory, rejecting what it described as a violation of its sovereignty.

The Kingdom called on the international community to assume its responsibilities in halting the escalation and ending Israeli military movements aimed at expanding into Lebanese territory.

It stressed the importance of safeguarding Lebanon’s sovereignty and ensuring the security of its people in line with relevant international agreements.

The Kingdom also reaffirmed the importance of adhering to the Taif Agreement in a way that ensures the extension of Lebanese state authority across all its territory.

It also stressed compliance with Lebanese government decisions to restrict arms exclusively to the state and its legitimate institutions, in order to restore security and stability in the country.
