ALBAWABA - The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Saudi Arabia released a statement on Wednesday announcing full support for Amman after the Jordanian government and General Intelligence Department foiled an attempt to disturb the Kingdom's national security.
The statement read: "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expresses the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's condemnation in the strongest terms of the heinous crime committed by the Israeli occupation forces in bombing the Baptist Hospital in the Gaza Strip. The Kingdom reiterates its unequivocal rejection of this attack, constituting a blatant violation of all international laws and norms, including international humanitarian law."
"The Kingdom calls on the international community to assume its responsibility in putting an end to the repeated violations against civilians, warning of the collapse of the healthcare system in Gaza as a result of the Israeli occupation's continued violations of all international laws and conventions," the ministry also added in the statement posted on its official X account.

Jordan's intelligence added the plots "intended to undermine national security and incite chaos and physical sabotage within the Kingdom."
