Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al-saud (pictured) told United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken that the war in Gaza is threatening international peace and security.

In a statement posted on the ministry's X account, released after the two diplomats met in Washington, the foreign minister underlined that it is important to take "all urgent steps to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza," while also making an effort "to reduce the pace of escalation and ensure that the violence does not expand."

The Saudi diplomat further underscored that the safety of relief corridors must be ensured so that humanitarian aid can be delivered to Gaza.
