Foreign Minister Participates in Session Titled 'Securing an Insecure World' at Davos 2024

Davos, January 16, 2024, SPA -- Minister of Foreign Affairs Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah participated today in a plenary session titled "Securing an Insecure World" during the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum 2024 in Davos, Switzerland.
Prince Faisal emphasized during his speech in the session the Kingdom's concern for regional security and freedom of navigation in the Red Sea.
"We need to focus on the situation in Gaza, not because of what is happening in the Red Sea, but because of its impact on the Palestinians first and on regional security in general," the minister said.
He indicated that the number of civilian casualties in Gaza has reached approximately 30,000, and restrictions on humanitarian aid persist.
The minister called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, paving the way for a credible process that empowers the Palestinian Authority, allowing for a path towards peace in the region.
He also pointed out that Israel's current actions jeopardize the prospects for regional peace and security.
"We agree that regional peace includes peace for Israel, but that can only happen through peace for the Palestinians and the establishment of the Palestinian state," Prince Faisal said.
Additionally, he stated that a ceasefire should be a starting point for lasting and sustainable peace, achievable only through the establishment of true justice for the Palestinian people.
