Saudi Arabia Condemns Israeli Settlers' Violence against Palestinians
Saudi Arabia has denounced the violence of Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, according to a statement by the Saudi Foreign Ministry. On Friday, the Foreign Ministry said that the Kingdom condemned and denounced the continued violence committed by Israeli settlers, under the protection of the Israeli forces, against Palestinian civilians, including the attacks in the village of Kafr Malik, east of Ramallah. Furthermore, Saudi Arabia reiterated its condemnation of the continued Israeli violence against unarmed civilians in Gaza, including targeting civilian sites housing displaced people, according to the statement. The Kingdom emphasized the need to make every effort to protect Palestinian civilians and enable the Palestinian people to exercise all their legitimate rights. It also renewed its call for the international community to assume its responsibilities to end Israeli violations of international laws and norms, the statement said. On Wednesday night, dozens of Israeli settlers stormed the village of Kafr Malik, east of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank. The Israeli settlers set vehicles and homes on fire, under the protection of Israeli forces, which fired live bullets at Palestinian civilians. The attack left three Palestinians dead and seven injured, according to Palestinian WAFA news agency. Israel has built about 160 settlements, housing some 700,000 Jews, since it occupied the West Bank and East Jerusalem in 1967, according to BBC. The international law deems settlements illegal. However, successive Israeli governments have allowed settlements to expand, most notably since the return of Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, to power in late 2022. In May 2025, Israel announced plans to establish 22 new settlements in the occupied West Bank, a controversial move backed by the Israeli Defense Minister, Israel Katz, and Finance Minister, Bezalel Smotrich.

Prince Turki Al-Faisal: In a Fairer World, U.S. Bombers Would Target Israel's Nuclear Arsenal Instead of Iran
A recent opinion piece by Prince Turki Al-Faisal, former head of Saudi intelligence, has sparked widespread reactions on social media after he criticized the latest U.S. strike on Iranian nuclear facilities and drew comparisons to Israel's Dimona nuclear reactor. اضافة اعلان In his article published Thursday in The National, Prince Turki wrote: 'In a world governed by justice, we would have seen American B-2 bombers raining bombs on Dimona and other Israeli sites, because Israel possesses a nuclear arsenal, is not a signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), and is not subject to inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).' He added that those who justify Israeli attacks on Iran based on statements by Iranian leaders calling for Israel's demise tend to overlook statements made by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has, since 1996, openly called for the 'overthrow of the Iranian government.' 'Iran's threats have brought ruin upon itself, but the West continues its hypocritical support for Israel—whether in its aggression against Iran or Palestine—despite a recent shift in stance by some countries.' These remarks recall a 2023 interview Prince Turki gave to France 24, where he commented on the possibility of an Israeli strike on Iran, saying: 'Netanyahu doesn't need a pretext. We've been hearing for 15 years about possible Israeli strikes on Iran, but nothing has materialized.' In a related development, Saudi Arabia has expressed 'deep concern' over the latest escalation, issuing an official statement saying it is 'closely monitoring the developments in the Islamic Republic of Iran, particularly the U.S. targeting of nuclear facilities.' The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the 'violation of Iranian sovereignty' and called for restraint, de-escalation, and intensified international efforts toward a political solution that ensures regional security and stability. Earlier, on June 13, Saudi Arabia had issued a similar statement strongly condemning Israeli strikes on Iran's nuclear program and the assassination of senior military figures, holding the UN Security Council accountable for halting 'this aggression,' according to the statement.
