RIYADH — Saudi Arabia has strongly condemned extremist statements by an Israeli occupation’s official calling for “erasing” the Palestinian village of Hawara.

In a statement on Friday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs urged the international community to shoulder its responsibilities to prevent such hideous acts, end escalation and provide the necessary protection for the civilians.

The Ministry has underlined the Kingdom’s complete rejection of such racist and irresponsible statements which reflect the massive violence and extremism the Israeli occupation entity is exercising against the brotherly Palestinians. — SPA
