Riyadh [Saudi Arabia], April 29: Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah said: "The situation in Gaza obviously is a catastrophe by every measure - humanitarian but also a complete failing of the existing political system to deal with that crisis."
During the first day of a Saudi-hosted World Economic Forum special meeting, he said it is in "everybody's interest in the region, our interest, the interest of the Palestinians, the interest of the Israelis, in the interest of the global community of nations, that we find a pathway to resolve this issue once and for all".
Only "a credible, irreversible path to a Palestinian state" will prevent the world from confronting "this same situation two, three, four years down the line", he added. (Agencies)
