RIYADH, Sept 30 (Bernama-SPA) -- Saudi Arabia's King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud have announced the provision of monthly financial support to the Palestinian.

Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported that this support aims to address the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip and its surrounding areas, alleviating the suffering caused by the Israeli occupation and its flagrant violations of international laws, including international humanitarian law.

The Kingdom reaffirms the significant efforts of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and the Crown Prince and Prime Minister in communicating with the international community to cease hostilities, protect civilians, and deliver increased humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people.

Saudi Arabia emphasises its leadership's commitment to finding a just and comprehensive solution to the Palestinian issue, ensuring that the Palestinian people can obtain all their legitimate rights and establish an independent state with East Jerusalem as its capital.

The Kingdom underscores its unwavering commitment to the Palestinian cause, which remains a central and top priority.

Since the start of the crisis, the Kingdom has exerted every effort to alleviate the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip.

By leading the ministerial committee appointed by the extraordinary joint Arab-Islamic summit, the Kingdom successfully rallied unified Arab and Islamic support for the Palestinian cause.

This effort resulted in several friendly countries recognising the State of Palestine, advocating for its full membership in the United Nations, and calling for an end to Israeli aggression and the lifting of the blockade on Gaza.

This assistance forms part of the ongoing support the Kingdom has provided to the Palestinian people for humanitarian, relief, and development purposes over the years. The total support has exceeded US$5.3 billion, demonstrating Saudi Arabia's longstanding commitment to helping the Palestinian people.
