King Fahd: Israel violates human rights principles

Originally published

King Fahd Bin Abdul Aziz of Saudi Arabia has stressed upon presiding over Monday's meeting of the Saudi Cabinet that "Israel's continued daily massacres and aggressions in the occupied Palestinian territories, killing of innocents, hiding corpses and demolishing the Palestinian camps reveal its unwillingness to abide by the will of the international community and its persistence to exterminate the Palestinian people in a flagrant defiance of the simplest human rights principles and international legitimacy resolutions."

A statement by the Saudi cabinet said that the Saudi government renewed its call on the US to immediately implement statements made by the US President George Bush and the need of the withdrawal of the Israeli forces from the Palestinian territories as well as demanding the UN security council to force Israel to honor and implement UN security council resolutions provided for achieving just and comprehensive peace in the region.
