Jubeir explained that the Saudi-US Summit talks also dealt with the Palestinian issue, the importance of the Arab peace initiative, which was launched in 2002 and the issue of Syria, where it discussed the need for a solution to the Syrian crisis, to be based on the Statement of Geneva 1, stressing that Assad is responsible for the emergence of Daesh in Syria and Iraq. The Minister of Foreign Affairs also stressed that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's position on Syria crisis has not changed and that the solution includes the departure of Assad, due to his responsibility for killing more than 300,000 Syrians including women and children, drawing attention that the Russian military support to Assad, if true, would constitute a serious threat. --More 13:35 LOCAL TIME 10:35 GMT تغريد
