The Political Advisor to Palestinian President Nimr Hammad expressed his appreciation of the stands of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia towards the Palestinian people and their cause, the keenness of the Kingdom's leadership on the unity of the Palestinian people and the achievement of their objectives of freedom and independence. In a statement today, he said we should register that the Kingdom has been in the front of countries keen on the unity of Arab and Islamic ranks. Nimr stressed that the Palestinian people have been extended great attention from the Kingdom which has been embodied in a permanent policy from the Saudi leadership since the era of the Kingdom's Founder late King Abdulaziz Al Saud until nowadays under the leadership of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz. The Palestinian political advisor added that the Saudi leadership has been in the front of defenders of the Palestinian issue at all arenas, noting that the Kingdom has been distinguished by continual support for Palestine Liberation Organization without any interference in Palestinian internal affairs. He pointed out that when there have been any crises, there have been historical initiatives of the Saudi leadership such as the project of late King Fahd bin Abdulaziz after the troops of Palestine Liberation Organization left Lebanon in 1982, the initiative of The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz which was endorsed in Arab Summit in Beirut as the Arab Peace Initiative and reaffirmed in recent Arab Summit in Riyadh and the King's initiative for hosting Makkah meeting which resulted in signing the agreement achieved by the Kingdom from its beginning to the end and resulted in the formation of a national unity government. He indicated that the Saudi leadership has achieved important results such as the recent meeting of Arab foreign ministers for the Arab Committee in charge of contacting international parties to explain and ensure their support for the Arab Peace Initiative. Nimr added that all these active efforts point to the continual movement and active policy of the Saudi leadership based on solidarity, fraternity and assistance provided to any brother or friend in Arab and Islamic worlds. We are confident that the Kingdom and its leadership will continue as it is customary to exert all efforts and use their influence to end the suffering of the Palestinian people to get rid of the Israeli occupation and to set up their free and independent state on the national land with Al-Quds as its capital, he concluded.
