The king insists constantly so that all stakeholders work, first, stabilize the ceasefire, before going to the following stages which were at the center of the agreement on the ceasefire, underlined the minister.

In this regard, he deplored the inability to achieve the second and third stages of this agreement because of the famine policy and the interruption of humanitarian aid, which has generated a dramatic situation in Gaza, which today represents a major challenge for human conscience and international law.
