Abdullah Offers to Rebuild All Gaza Homes

Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah has ordered the reconstruction of all demolished Palestinian homes in Gaza as a result of Israeli attacks, Health Minister Dr. Hamad Al-Manie said in comments published yesterday.

Al-Manie made this statement while addressing a press conference in the Egyptian resort of Sharm El-Sheikh on Thursday in the presence of Palestinian and Egyptian health ministers.

“The king has ordered the reconstruction of Palestinian houses at the expense of the Saudi government,” Al-Jazirah Arabic daily quoted the minister as saying. Al-Manie did not say how many Palestinian homes would be rebuilt under the program.

However, he pointed out that King Abdullah’s humanitarian gesture was in line with Saudi Arabia’s unwavering support to the Palestinian cause.

Saudi Arabia has strongly condemned the Israeli aggression on unarmed Palestinian civilians in Gaza, using “unpaid weapons of mass destruction” it has.

Last Monday, the Council of Ministers, chaired by King Abdullah, held the UN Security Council responsible for the Jewish state’s continuous aggression against the Palestinians.

“The UN Security Council should take the moral and political responsibility for Israel’s practices and continuous violations of the international law,” the Saudi Press Agency said quoting a Cabinet statement.
