<p><strong>RIYADH: The Council of Ministers on Monday  denounced Israeli airstrikes on residential areas in Gaza, killing  innocent people, and urged the international community to take immediate  action to stop the continuous Israeli aggression against the  Palestinians.</strong></p>
<div class="body">
<p>The Cabinet meeting, chaired by  Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah, also called for greater  coordination among Arab countries to confront the consequences of new  developments in the region and ensure their unity and stability.</p>
<p>The  Cabinet also urged the international community to stop Jewish  settlements in occupied Palestinian territories. The UN Security Council  should move quickly to stop Israel’s dangerous violations and provide  protection to unarmed Palestinian civilians, it said, adding that Israel  should be forced to respect UN resolutions.</p>
<p>King Abdullah  welcomed the newly appointed Housing Minister Shuwaish Al-Duwaihi to the  Cabinet and wished him every success in his new career. He highlighted  the importance of the new Housing Ministry in solving the citizens’  housing problems. Before the Cabinet session, he took his oath of office  in front of the king.</p>
<p>Culture and Information Minister Abdul Aziz  Khoja said the Cabinet approved proposals related to the codification  of the moral content of information technology in the Kingdom. It also  endorsed a memorandum of understanding signed with China on June 4, 2010  for strategic dialogue with GCC countries.</p>
<p>The Cabinet approved  another agreement signed by the Higher Education Ministry with the  Australian department of education and employment on May 27, 2010. It  authorized Hashim Yamani, president of King Abdullah City for Atomic and  Renewable Energy, to sign an agreement with Argentina for cooperation  in the peaceful use of nuclear energy, Khoja said.</p>
<p>The Cabinet  appointed Abdul Rahman Al-Makhdoub undersecretary for rights at the  Interior Ministry; Abdul Aziz Taher economic adviser at the Ministry of  Economy and Planning; Muhammad Al-Bidaiwi and Abdullah Al-Anazi  ministers plenipotentiary at the Foreign Ministry; and Muhammad Al-Arwan  cultural attaché at the Ministry of Higher Education.</p>
<p>In a  related development, King Abdullah telephoned Syrian President Bashar  Assad for reassurance about the situation in the country following  anti-government protests there. The situation in Syria is  “satisfactory,” Assad told the king. The two leaders also discussed  prospects of strengthening bilateral ties.</p>
