The Saudi cabinet issued on Monday new decrees concerning a number of regional and internal affairs. The Cabinet’s session was held at at Al-Salam Palace in Jeddah and was chaired by the Vice Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Prince Mohammed bin Naif bin Abdulaziz.
The Cabinet restated the kingdom’s welcoming of decision of the Secretary General of the United Nations, Ban Ki-moon, to remove the “Coalition for Restoration of Legitimacy in Yemen” from the list of those responsible for violence against civilians.
The Cabinet commended the efforts exerted by the independent joint team for the assessment of incidents in Yemen and its results in response to allegations of the coalition forces’ violations in the operations of Determination Storm and Renewal of Hope aiming to restore legitimacy to Yemen.
The Joint Incidents Assessment Team (JIAT) was formed in January to look into reports of Saudi-led coalition’s war violations during its “Decisive Storm” in Yemen. It includes 14 members from coalition states, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar and Yemen.
Furthermore, the Cabinet renewed the Kingdom’s calls on the international community to provide protection, facilitate the entry of humanitarian aid for the Syrian people, and stop tight blockade, massacres and air raids taking place in Syrian cities like Aleppo. The cabinet stressed that the continuation of the Syrian regime’s shelling of residential neighborhoods in Aleppo and killing of innocent civilians is considered among punishable war crimes against humanity.
During the session, Prince Mohammed briefed the Cabinet on the results of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques’ reception of the King of Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and the Emir of the State of Qatar.
