FM bin Farhan, Blinken talk Gaza ceasefire: Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan discussed prospects of a six-week ceasefire in Gaza with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken during a phone call on Friday, according to statements (here and here). The potential ceasefire comes as part of an agreement that would see the release of hostages and upping humanitarian aid to the war-torn strip.
The Foreign Ministry welcomed a resolution by the UN Security Council (UNSC) calling for an immediate ceasefire in Sudan during Ramadan, according to a statement on X yesterday. “The Kingdom expresses its hope that all Sudanese parties will abide by the Security Council resolution to preserve Sudan and the lives of its people…,” it said. The ministry also urged Sudanese parties “to adhere to the outputs of the Jeddah talks aimed at…stopping the hostilities and resolving the crisis through political dialogue”.
