Saudi Arabia Stresses Int'l Community's Role in Establishing Peace in Palestine
The Saudi government stressed on Tuesday the role of the international community in ending the 'catastrophic consequences' of the Israeli assault on the Palestinian people, as well as 'protecting innocent civilians, and creating a new reality where Palestine can enjoy peace' in line with international resolutions. Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, chaired the cabinet meeting that was held in Jeddah. At the outset of the meeting, the cabinet expressed gratitude to God Almighty for the honor bestowed upon the Kingdom in serving the Grand Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque, and for the continued success achieved during last year's Hajj. Over 1.6 million pilgrims were facilitated in performing their rituals with ease and tranquility, as the Kingdom dedicated all its resources and efforts under the constant guidance of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, it added. The cabinet praised the efforts of the Supreme Hajj Committee and all personnel involved in serving the pilgrims for their effective implementation of security, preventive, organizational, and health plans. These efforts have established the Kingdom as a global model in crowd management and in providing high-quality services to visitors of the Two Holy Mosques and the holy sites. The cabinet reviewed the efforts of the relevant authorities in meeting the needs of pilgrims from Iran and securing hundreds of flights and overland journeys to ensure their safe return home amid its brief war with Israel. It stressed that serving and caring for pilgrims remains one of the Kingdom's highest priorities and most important responsibilities. Crown Prince Mohammed briefed the cabinet on the contents of messages received by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques from Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro, Vietnam's President Luong Cuong, and Angola's President Joao Manuel Goncalves Lourenco. The messages addressed bilateral relations with the Kingdom and ways to support and strengthen them across various fields. Moreover, the cabinet reviewed regional and international developments, reiterating the Kingdom's positions, as expressed by the Crown Prince in his communications with leaders of brotherly and friendly countries, and its continued support for international efforts to promote regional and global peace and security, address crises, ease tensions, and advance dialogue through diplomatic means as an effective path to resolving disputes. The cabinet underlined the statement issued by the Kingdom that expressed solidarity with Qatar and the categorical rejection of any infringement on its sovereignty or any threat to its security and stability. The cabinet reiterated that the Kingdom welcomes the signing of the peace agreement between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, hoping that it will fulfill the aspirations of both nations' peoples for development and prosperity, while upholding regional and international security and stability. Furthermore, the cabinet highlighted the commencement of operation of the Global Water Organization (GWO) from its headquarters in Riyadh as a reaffirmation of the Kingdom's commitment to boosting international initiatives. This development underscores Saudi Arabia's eagerness to strengthen cooperation among countries by supporting collaborative efforts to address the growing challenges related to water, as an essential resource for life. The cabinet noted Saudi Arabia's election as vice chair of the World Health Organization (WHO) Executive Board as well as its selection as a member of the High-Level Group for Partnership, Coordination, and Capacity-Building for Statistics for the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (HLG-PCCB). Additionally, it highlighted the inclusion of the Uruq Bani Ma'arid Protected Area in the Green List of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The cabinet welcomed the concluding statement issued by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) experts regarding the 2025 Article IV consultation with Saudi Arabia. The statement praised the Saudi economy's high resilience in the face of global economic challenges, the expansion of non-oil economic activities, the containment of inflation, and the unemployment rate reaching historic lows, aligning with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030. Moreover, the cabinet highlighted the results of the 7th King Abdulaziz Quality Award, lauding the commitment of the winning entities to adopting the principles of institutional excellence and enhancing performance quality, which contributes to improved outcomes and helps achieve national objectives.

Justice Department Says 2 Chinese Nationals Charged with Spying Inside the US for Beijing
Two Chinese nationals have been charged with spying inside the United States on behalf of Beijing, including by taking photographs of a naval base, coordinating a cash dead-drop and participating in efforts to recruit members of the military who they thought might be open to working for Chinese intelligence. The case, filed in federal court in San Francisco and unsealed Monday, is the latest Justice Department prosecution to target what officials say are active efforts by the Chinese government to secretly collect intelligence about American military capabilities — a practice laid bare in startling fashion two years ago with China's launching of a surveillance balloon that US officials ultimately shot down over the coast of South Carolina. "This case underscores the Chinese government's sustained and aggressive effort to infiltrate our military and undermine our national security from within," Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement announcing the case. "The Justice Department will not stand by while hostile nations embed spies in our country – we will expose foreign operatives, hold their agents to account, and protect the American people from covert threats to our national security." Officials identified the defendants as Yuance Chen, 38, who arrived in the US on a visa in 2015 and later became a lawful permanent resident, and Liren "Ryan" Lai, 39, who prosecutors say lives in China but came to the US sporadically, including this past spring as part of an effort to supervise clandestine espionage operations on behalf of China's Ministry of State Security or MSS. The two were arrested on charges of secretly doing China's bidding without registering as foreign agents with the Justice Department, as required by law. It was not immediately clear if they had lawyers. A spokesperson for the Chinese embassy in Washington did not immediately return a message seeking comment Tuesday. According to an FBI affidavit filed in connection with the case, investigators believe Lai had been developing Chen to be a Chinese intelligence asset since at least mid-2021. Their activities, the FBI says, included coordinating on a dead-drop of at least $10,000 in cash to another person who was operating at the direction of the MSS. They also participated and arranged surveillance of a Navy recruiting station in California and Navy base in Washington state, including through photographs that Chen is accused of taking and that investigators believe were transmitted to Chinese intelligence. Authorities say Lai and Chen also discussed recruiting Navy employees to work for China, with Chen at one point obtaining names, hometowns and programs of recent recruits. Many listed China as their hometown and investigators believe the information was sent to China, the FBI affidavit says. The affidavit recounts conversations aimed at assessing whether individual Navy employees would make for good recruits for Chinese intelligence. In one instance, the FBI said, Chen sent Lai the name of a Navy employee and wrote: "I found out. His mother is Chinese. His father and mother did not get along and the mother was given custody when he was 8 years old. That is why he uses his mother's last name." The case is one in a series concerning Chinese intelligence-gathering, sometimes related to the US military. In August 2023, for instance, two Navy sailors were charged with providing sensitive military information to China, including details on wartime exercises, naval operations and critical technical material. "Adverse foreign intelligence services like the PRC's Ministry of State Security dedicate years to recruiting individuals and cultivating them as intelligence assets to do their bidding within the United States," Assistant Attorney General John Eisenberg, the head of the Justice Department's National Security Division, said in a statement.
