Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz chaired a cabinet session in Riyadh, which demanded that all sides commit to the implementation of United Nations Resolution 2401 on Syria. Eastern Ghouta has been under a siege by the Syrian regime and its militias, said the cabinet. The civilians there are also victim to all forms of heavy shelling and chemical attacks. Aid has been barred from entering the region, it added, therefore urging all concerned sides to allow help to reach those in need and evacuate the sick and wounded. The government also hailed Bahrain on its counter-terrorism efforts, praising its security agencies for thwarting a number of terror plots and arresting 116 members of a terrorist cell linked to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards. The cabinet also condemned the series of attacks that targeted the French embassy in Burkina Faso, as well as the armed forces base. King Salman then informed the gatherers of the details of the handwritten message he received on Sunday from Kuwait Emir Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmed al-Jaber al-Sabah. He informed them of the talks he held by telephone with Iraqi Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi and the meetings he had with visiting Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri and Tunisian Interior Minister Lutfi Brahem.
