RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Saudi Arabia denounces what it describes as “double standards” in the world’s response to the Israel-Hamas war, saying Israel was getting a pass on violations of international law.

“We are watching and observing the double standards and we are reassessing, based on this, the credibility of international systems. If there is no commitment binding everyone to these foundations, it is difficult to speak of these foundations as unifying foundations,” Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan tells a press conference following a summit in the capital Riyadh.
