Saudi Arabia has reiterated it is making “vigorous efforts” on the political and humanitarian fronts to end the Israeli aggression against Palestinians in Gaza, Al Jazeera reports quoting local media.

According to the Saudi Press Agency (SPA), the statement was made following a council of ministers meeting, headed by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in the western city of Jeddah.

The meeting also reviewed “the Kingdom’s international efforts to support initiatives aimed at gaining further global recognition of the State of Palestine”.

It also stressed Saudi Arabia’s “ongoing provision of relief aid to civilians in the Gaza Strip” amid international warnings of growing famine risks as the entry of humanitarian aid trucks fell significantly after the Israeli army attacked and seized control of the Rafah crossing on May 6.
