Saudi foreign minister in Moscow calls for ceasefire

Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister reiterated calls for a ceasefire during a meeting with Muslim and Arab League diplomats in Moscow on Tuesday.

“There is no excuse for such atrocities with the claim of self-defence,” he said, saying that there must be an “immediate ceasefire and end to the siege”.

“We cannot talk about the future of Gaza until we have a ceasefire and Israel stops the targeting of civilians,” he added. 

Representatives from Egypt, Indonesia, Jordan and Palestine are also present at the meeting.
