JEDDAH, JULY 13, SPA [Saudi news agency] -- AN OFFICIAL SOURCE SAID THAT THE
KINGDOM OF SAUDI ARABIA HAS BELIEVED AND STILL BELIEVES IN THE RIGHT OF
PEOPLE UNDER OCCUPATION TO FIGHT THIS OCCUPATION IN ALL ITS FORMS AND TO
REJECT ITS ILLEGAL MEASURES AIMING AT ERASING IDENTITY AND CHANGING REALTIES
ON THE GROUND.

ON THIS BASIS, THE KINGDOM HAS ALWAYS BEEN STANDING WITH ALL ITS
CAPABILITIES WITH THE LEGITIMATE PALESTINIAN RESISTANCE WHICH AIMS AT
RESISTING MILITARY OCCUPATION AND AVOIDING HARMING THE INNOCENT.

ON THE SAME BASIS, THE KINGDOM STOOD FIRMLY WITH THE RESISTANCE IN LEBANON
UNTIL ISRAELI OCCUPATION OF LEBANON ENDED.

VIEWING WITH DEEP CONCERN THE BLOODY, PAINFUL EVENTS CURRENTLY TAKING PLACE
IN PALESTINE AND LEBANON, THE KINGDOM WOULD LIKE TO CLEARLY ANNOUNCE THAT A
DIFFERENCE SHOULD BE DRAWN BETWEEN LEGITIMATE RESISTANCE AND RASH ADVENTURES
CARRIED OUT BY ELEMENTS INSIDE THE STATE AND THOSE BEHIND THEM WITHOUT
CONSULTATION WITH THE LEGITIMATE AUTHORITY IN THEIR STATE AND WITHOUT
CONSULTATION OR COORDINATION WITH ARAB COUNTRIES, THUS CREATING A GRAVELY
DANGEROUS SITUATION EXPOSING ALL ARAB COUNTRIES AND ITS ACHIEVEMENTS TO
DESTRUCTION WITH THOSE COUNTRIES HAVING NO SAY.

THE KINGDOM VIEWS THAT IT IS TIME THAT THESE ELEMENTS ALONE BEAR THE FULL
RESPONSIBILITY OF THESE IRRESPONSIBLE ACTS AND SHOULD ALONE SHOULDER THE
BURDEN OF ENDING THE CRISIS THEY HAVE CREATED.
