Saudi king calls for end to 'heinous crimes' in Gaza in Ramadan message

Saudi Arabia's King Salman bin Abdulaziz has called in his Ramadan message for the international community to bring an end to the "heinous crimes" taking place in Gaza, where Israel's war with Hamas has been raging for more than five months.

Speaking as custodian of Islam's two holiest sites, King Salman gave thanks on Sunday for the "blessings bestowed upon the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia", but noted the war in besieged Gaza would cast a shadow over the holy month of fasting and prayer.
