Saudi Arabia has banned the entry of Palestinian refugees with Syrian travel documents and currently taking shelter in Egypt to perform pilgrimage in the Kingdom.
A number of Palestinian-Syrian refugees said they have submitted all necessary documents but the Saudi embassy in Egypt turned down their demands for pilgrimage visas.
In 2018, Saudi Arabia issued a law outlawing the entry of Palestinians with Syrian travel documents.
AGPS calls on the Palestine Liberation Organization, Palestine embassies and diplomats, and the international human rights organizations to urge Saudi Arabia to lift the ban on Palestinian refugees and enable them to freely exercise their right to religious pilgrimage.
