Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah called on the Palestinians last Tuesday to set their house in order while exhorting them to unite, not only to realize their dreams but also to combat Israeli aggression.

“The council of ministers stressed that the message sent by King Abdullah to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who is also chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization, came from a heart that has been crushed by genuine pain over the wrangling and schism of his Palestinian brothers that only served the interests of their enemies. The realization of the establishment of an independent Palestinian state requires their national unity and concerted effort. It will never be achieved if the Palestinian house remains divided,” Al-Anqari said in his statement.

The Cabinet meeting, chaired by Second Deputy Premier and Interior Minister Prince Naif at Al-Salam Palace in Jeddah, denounced the demolition of Palestinian houses and eviction of their residents in East Jerusalem. “The Cabinet called on the international community to take a firm and wholehearted stand to stop immediately the criminal acts perpetrated by Israel and make that country respect all legitimate international resolutions,” Al-Anqari said.

The Cabinet congratulated President Abbas on his re-election as the chairman of the Central Committee of the Fatah movement.

Prince Naif briefed the ministers on the meetings and discussions held by King Abdullah, Crown Prince Sultan and himself with various world leaders and their emissaries.

The Cabinet authorized the president of the King Abdul Aziz City for Science and Technology to negotiate and sign two memoranda of understanding with two Indian organizations — the Indian Space Research Organization for cooperation in the area of peaceful use of space and the Center for Development of Advanced Computing in the field of information technology.
