Saudi Arabia on Friday welcomed the UN top court's decision on Israel's war in Gaza, and called for the international community to "hold Israel accountable" for "violations" of international law.
In a statement, the kingdom's Foreign Ministry also called for "more measures" to reach a ceasefire in Gaza and provide protection for the Palestinian people.
