In a statement, Hamas leader Ra'fat Mourra described the continued detention of Al-Khudari and other Palestinians as "affront to the Palestinian people, their just cause and to the Palestinian-Saudi relations”.

In February, Amnesty International said Al-Khudari, 83, had undergone surgery and was being treated for prostate cancer when the Saudi authorities arrested him and his son Hani Al-Khudari on April 4, 2019.

The London-based rights group called on the Saudi king to ensure that “unfounded charges” against Al-Khudari and his son are dropped and that they are released.
