The Muslim World League, headquartered in Mecca, expressed its displeasure and regret over the veto of the draft resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, which was submitted by Algeria to the Security Council, aiming to protect the lives and property of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.

In a statement from the League’s General Secretariat today, Wednesday, the Secretary-General, President of the Council of Muslim Scholars, Sheikh Dr. Muhammad bin Abdulkarim Al-Issa, renewed his call to the international community to "assume its responsibilities regarding the protection of civilians, maintaining international security and peace, and ending the humanitarian disaster and barbaric war in the Gaza Strip, which constitutes a blatant violation of all its laws and customs, and its barbarism and chaos threaten the confidence in and cohesion of the system."

Saudi Arabia emphasized on Tuesday evening the necessity for the Security Council to perform its role to ceasefire in Gaza, especially as the United States used its veto right against Algeria's draft resolution, for the third time since the outbreak of the war between its ally Israel and Hamas movement.
