\n Riyadh
\nSaudi Arabia on Sunday strongly condemned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s statements regarding the displacement of Palestinians, calling them an attempt to distract from Israel\u2019s ongoing actions in Gaza.
\nIn a statement, the Saudi Foreign Ministry rejected \u201csuch statements that aim to divert attention from the continuous crimes committed by the Israeli occupation against the Palestinian brothers in Gaza, including the ethnic cleansing they are subjected to.\u201d
\nRiyadh also commended the widespread condemnation from Arab nations, highlighting a unified rejection of Netanyahu\u2019s comments.
\n\u201cThe Kingdom emphasizes that this extremist, occupying mentality disregards the Palestinian people\u2019s deep-rooted historical, emotional, and legal ties to their land,\u201d the statement said. \u201cIt refuses to recognize their right to exist and has relentlessly targeted them, killing and injuring over 160,000\u2014mostly women and children\u2014without remorse.\u201d
\nSaudi Arabia reaffirmed that Palestinians are not \u201cintruders or immigrants\u201d to be expelled at Israel\u2019s will. Instead, it accused proponents of these extremist views of obstructing peace by rejecting Arab-led initiatives and systematically oppressing Palestinians for over 75 years, in violation of international law and UN principles.
\nThe ministry insisted that Palestinian rights remain \u201cfirmly established and cannot be erased,\u201d asserting that lasting peace hinges on a return to reason and the acceptance of a two-state solution.
