Episode 34 - Israel and Palestine War updates

Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan said there needed to be an immediate ceasefire, a lifting of the blockade on Gaza, and the delivery of humanitarian aid. He said that "Arab countries have delivered a unified message" regarding the war on Gaza during the press conference held alongside his counterparts from Egypt, Palestine, Jordan, and the United Arab Emirates. "Since the crisis began, we have been in constant communication with all our international partners, including the United States," Bin Farhan told The New Arab’s sister site Al-Araby Al-Jadeed in response to a question about the concrete steps Arab countries are taking to halt the war on Gaza and allow aid to enter. "Our message is clear: there must be an immediate ceasefire, the blockade must be lifted, and humanitarian aid must urgently be delivered. This message has been conveyed with a unified voice from the Arab countries." "We have engaged in intensive communication within this framework, and we are now seeing the beginning of aid entering Gaza. However, it is insufficient, and these quantities do not meet the required needs at all," he added. "What is needed is the opening of pathways for food supplies without restrictions or conditions... the most essential and fundamental demand, in accordance with international humanitarian law, is the lifting of the blockade. "Imposing a blockade on Gaza is a violation of international law and has no justification. Therefore, this is our primary demand, and we will continue to push in this direction."
