Statement of Saudi Arabia at the UNGA72

Palestine: The Israeli-Arab conflict is still one of the longest conflicts that the region has witnessed in its recent history, with all its tragedies, pain, and human suffering. We do not see a reason for the continuation of this conflict, especially when there is an international consensus on a two-state solution that is based on international resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative leading to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital.  

Yemen: The military operation in Yemen was not a choice and it wasn’t a spur of the moment, but it came after extensive political efforts that aim to protect the security and stability of Yemen, its national unity and its regional safety.

Qatar: The stand that the four countries  took against Qatar is asking Qatar clearly to abide by international principles and laws for combating terrorism and to live up to their commitment to the pledges they made in the Riyadh agreement in 2013, and the supplementary agreement in 2014.

Syria: The Syrian crisis is entering its sixth year, and the conflict is still ongoing, leaving hundreds of thousands of victims, and millions of displaced people and refugees. We see that the only way to end the crisis is through a political resolution based on Geneva 1 declaration and the UNSC Resolution 2254.
