Saudi Arabia's foreign ministry on Saturday called for an "immediate cessation of violence between Israeli and the Palestinians", the state news agency reported.

It quoted a ministry statement which read: "We are following the unprecedented developments between a number of Palestinian factions and Israel occupation forces which has led to a high level of violence on a number of fronts".
