Arab and Islamic nations delegation urges immediate ceasefire in Gaza

During their trip to Washington, chief envoys from a coalition of Arab and Islamic countries urged for a cessation of hostilities in the Gaza Strip on Friday.

“Our message is we believe it is absolutely necessary to end the fighting immediately,” Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan said on behalf of the group, appealing to the UN Security Council to adopt a resolution calling for a ceasefire.

Bin Farhan was in Washington as a member of the Arab-Islamic Ministerial Delegation.
