Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan praised a temporary truce between Israel and Hamas and called for a complete halt in fighting. “The ceasefire in Gaza is a step in the right direction. We call for a complete halt, and the use of humanitarian aid to Gaza as a means of collective punishment must be prevented,” he told officials in London. A delegation of Arab and Muslim ministers have been on a diplomatic tour calling for an end to the war in Gaza.
