Meanwhile, WAMY launched a fundraising campaign in support of its charitable projects for the benefit of Palestinians. The organization will collect one million signatures (each with one riyal) from wellwishers to express their solidarity with Palestinians. Abdul Wahab Noorwali, WAMY’s assistant secretary-general, hoped that the 10-day campaign would attract a large number of Saudis and expatriates, who have always supported the Palestinian cause. (AN)
