Americans in Iraq and what is the Kingdom's response to these accusations, Crown Prince Sultan said, " Iraq's stability and security concern us in the Kingdom. We do not allow any Saudi to go to Iraq and what is reported in the media that numbers of Saudi citizens are infiltrating from the border crossing to Iraq is not true. If there were some Saudis tempted to be there, they found entry posts other than the border area between the Kingdom and Iraq. The Kingdom is keen to control its borders with all neighboring countries, using the latest means to monitor its borders. Increasing the vigilance and supporting the strict security observation of border guards in the Kingdom, Prince Naif bin Abdulaziz , the Minister of Interior, has recently announced that the fence project to be built on the borders of the Kingdom with Iraq is about to be bid and work to begin soon." Replying to a question on the events that have taken place since the Kingdom's auspices of reconciliation agreement between the Palestinian Authority and Hamas and whether he believes that regional parties contributed to the re-fueling of controversy, the Crown Prince said,' We have much pain of dispute and division of ranks between brothers at the Palestinian arena which will harm the Palestinian struggle and the Palestinian people will dearly pay the price at all levels. The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz has exerted great efforts to bridge the gap between the Palestinian brothers, who came to Makkah and concluded the agreement under the auspices of the King. The Monarch appealed to them to adhere to their pledge and oath before Kaaba to unite other than fight. We greatly hope that they will respond to this call. As to what you said about the presence of regional parties in this dispute, it is important that Palestinians should realize that any conflict whatever might be its motives will only lead to the great damage of the Palestinian cause and distort the history of the Palestinian struggle, and that dialogue and understanding are the only way for resolving differences rather than fighting and conflicting. --More
