During the call, the Crown Prince emphasized the urgency of taking immediate action to explore ways to halt military operations, which have claimed thousands of civilian lives on both sides, according to SPA.

MBS strongly condemned the targeting of civilians in any form, as well as the destruction of infrastructure and vital interests that affect their daily lives, SPA said.

According to SPA, MBS underscored the urge of working towards restoring the path to peace, ensuring that the Palestinian people obtain their legitimate rights and achieving a just and comprehensive peace.

President Biden expressed his gratitude to the Crown Prince for his efforts to reduce the intensity and scope of the escalation in the region, SPA reported.
