Saudi Arabia calls for Lebanon’s sovereignty to be respected
Saudi Arabia expresses its “great concern” at the conflict in Lebanon, calling for the country’s “sovereignty and territorial integrity” to be respected.
A foreign ministry statement says, “The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is following with great concern the developments taking place in the Republic of Lebanon.”
“The Kingdom calls on the international community to assume its responsibilities towards protecting regional peace and security to spare the region and its people the dangers and tragedies of wars,” it adds.
Israel has carried out several days of deadly strikes on targets in Lebanon, killing the leader of the Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group Hassan Nasrallah on Friday and other senior figures in the movement.
