The Cabinet affirmed that the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques' call to the leaders of Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Member States and the Arab countries to hold two GCC and Arab emergency summits in Makkah on 30th, May, 2019 reflects his keenness to consult and coordinate with the brotherly countries regarding enhancing security and stability in the region, particularly following the Iranian regime and its aggressive proxies' acts in the region and their grave repercussions on the regional and international peace and security as well as the supply and stability of oil markets in the world. The Minister of Media reiterated that the Kingdom seeks peace in the region and does not seek any other, and will do everything in its power to prevent war, adding that the Kingdom's hand is always extended for peace and seeks to achieve it and believes that the peoples of the region, including the Iranian people, have the right to live in security and stability and to move towards development. The Cabinet called on the international community to shoulder its responsibilities by taking a firm stance against the Iranian regime to coerce it stop its behavior and prevent it from spreading destruction and chaos throughout the world, as well as its proxies to push them away from recklessness and senseless behaviors in order to spare the region risks and not to push the region to undesirable consequences.
