President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu has praised Saudi Arabia's efforts in building a global alliance for a two-state solution in the Palestine-Israel issue.

In his address at the Joint Arab-Islamic Summit in Riyadh, Muizzu praised Saudi Arabia’s leadership in addressing the challenges faced by Muslims worldwide.

He described Saudi Arabia’s commitment as a beacon of hope and inspiration for justice and self-determination for the Palestinian people.

He urged Muslim and Arab nations to take decisive action in support of Palestine and pointed out that while condemnations of Israeli aggression had been made, they had not been followed by the necessary actions from those in power.

Addressing the global community’s continued silence and inaction, particularly within the UN Security Council, the President noted that the use of veto power had blocked meaningful action and allowed war crimes and the flow of arms to persist.

The President condemned Israel’s brutal occupation and ongoing genocide, rejecting Israel’s decision to dismantle the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), which has supported Palestinian refugees for 75 years.

He called on the international community to continue supporting this vital agency and urged the international community to increase both financial and political support for peace.

Concluding his statement, the President noted that by this Summit, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has demonstrated its leadership and solidarity and called on Muslim and Arab nations to work together for meaningful change.

"If we, as an Ummah, don’t act decisively now, history will judge us harshly," he warned, calling for the summit to be a turning point for unity and meaningful change.
