In a statement to the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) following the session, Dr. Abdulaziz bin Mohieddin Khoja, Minister of Culture and Information, said that the Cabinet was briefed on a number of reports regarding the latest developments at Arab, regional and international arenas, especially the aggression against the Palestinian people in light of Israeli military escalation on the Palestinian territories.

In this regard, the Cabinet expressed the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's condemnation of the Israeli military escalation and a series of brutal raids on Gaza Strip which martyred hundreds and injured many Palestinians, renewing the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's call to the Security Council of the United Nations and Human Rights Council in Geneva to shoulder their duties and apply the Fourth Geneva Convention against Israel and take a quick movement to stop the Israeli aggression on Gaza Strip in addition to all crimes and violations against the Palestinian people.
