Arab and Muslim officials meeting in Saudi Arabia’s capital Riyadh have urged the international community to impose “effective sanctions” on Israel in response to its “war crimes” against Palestinians, Alarabiya English reports.

Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan chaired the meeting of the Ministerial Committee, which was attended by the foreign ministers of Jordan, Egypt and Turkey, as well as officials from Qatar, the Palestinian Authority and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation.

The officials called on the international community to impose “effective sanctions” on Israel, advocating for measures such as halting arms exports to the country, according to the Saudi foreign ministry.

The officials accused Israel of violating international law and committing “war crimes” in both Gaza and the West Bank and expressed their opposition to Israel’s long-feared invasion of Rafah in southern Gaza.
