Leading the conversation on Saudi in the foreign press this morning is Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s condemnation of Israel’s genocide in Palestine during the Arab-Islamic Summit held in Riyadh earlier this week. The Crown Prince’s use of the term “genocide” to describe Israel’s ongoing assault on Gaza got ink in CNN, BBC, The Independent, and the Washington Post.
The summit also called for a freeze on Israel’s UN membership, while rallying for Palestine’s full UN membership, Saudi Gazette reports. This is in addition to demanding an international investigation into the atrocities committed by Israel in Gaza. Arab and Muslim leaders also urged a halt on all weapon transfers to Israel, warning of escalating tensions that now spill into Lebanon, Iraq, and Syria.
