Saudi Crown Prince Condemns Israel, Calls for Unified Palestinian State

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has condemned Israel's actions in Gaza as "genocide" during a summit of Muslim and Arab leaders, marking one of the strongest criticisms from a Saudi official. He also criticized Israeli attacks on Lebanon and Iran, warning against any aggression towards Iranian soil. The summit called for Israel's withdrawal from the West Bank and Gaza, while Saudi Arabia's foreign minister criticized the international community for failing to end the conflict. The war in Gaza began after a Hamas attack on Israel, leading to significant casualties in Gaza. The summit also addressed Israel's ban on the UN Palestinian refugee agency, Unrwa, from operating in certain areas.
