Saudi King invites families of Palestinians martyrs to perform Hajj

Saudi King Salman Bin Abdulaziz today issued an order to host 1,000 family members of Palestinian martyrs to perform Hajj.

The Minister of Islamic Affairs, Da’wah and Guidance, General Sheikh Dr. Abdul Latif Bin Abdulaziz Al-Sheikh, said that this comes in the context of the continued support and the keen attention paid by King Salman to the Palestinian cause, in recognition of the great sacrifices the Palestinian people are making and their steadfastness.

Al-Sheikh pointed out that the Palestinian people deserve all support and appreciation in their struggle to restore their legitimate rights.

Some 1,500 relatives of Yemeni and Sudanese soldiers killed in Yemen have already been invited to take part in the Hajj pilgrimage this year under the sponsorship of the Saudi government following a decree by King Salman.
