Saudi Arabia Says Jews Living in Arab-claimed Lands is a "Terrorist Act"

Saudi Ambassador to the UN Abdallah Al-Mouallimi (File photo)
Saudi Arabia, well-known for having promoted violent extremism and terrorist narratives around the world, spoke at a Security Council session on "Threats to International Peace and Security Caused by Terrorist Acts: Countering the Narratives and Ideologies of Terrorism" held on May 11, 2016. Among other things, the Saudis accused Israelis existence on Arab-claimed land as "in itself a terrorist act":

"Israel continues to resort to all forms of violence and excessive force against the lone Palestinian people... And all of that, it is basing itself on extremist terrorist racial rhetoric that calls for killing, displacement, and destruction. Turning a blind eye to the dangers of this rhetoric based on violence and on the state terrorism, failing to expressly condemn it, failing to fight it, failing to hold accountable those who promote it, is closely linked to the growing hate rhetoric, the rhetoric of violence, extremism, and terrorism... The ongoing Israeli occupation of Arab occupied territories in Palestine, Syria and Lebanon is in itself a terrorist act that denies the Arab people in this region their legitimate rights."
