Prince Turki al-Faisal, former head of Saudi Arabia's intelligence service, called for imposing sanctions against the Israeli occupation because of its record in invading the Arab countries.

"Of course, I don't see the difference, aggression is aggression, whether committed by Russia or Israel," al-Faisal said in a statement to arabnews.

He added that the normalization of relations with the occupation was futile. The Palestinian people continue to be occupied and attacked on an almost daily basis, in conjunction with the theft of their Palestinian lands.
