Saudi newspapers highlighted in their editorials today a number of local, regional and international issues. Al-Watan newspaper highlighted in its editorial today the Saudi cabinet's description of brutal Israeli aggression on Gaza as "war crimes." It said: This description is true because Israel's practices are clear violations of Geneva Conventions signed in 1949. "But those who are taking sides with Israel, especially the United States of America, insist that it is just defending itself, not least after the United States was the only one against the United Nations Human Rights Council's resolution taken yesterday on forming an international committee for urgent investigation into "all violations" committed by Israel during its assault on Gaza." the newspaper said. It explained that the United States' position by opposing the UNHRC's decision in this regard came in defiance of "human rights" that it claims usually to patronize them at all times and everywhere. --More 11:41 LOCAL TIME 08:41 GMT تغريد
