The Saudi government, during its weekly session chaired by King Abdullah, also pledged to support "any international effort" that will help protect the Syrian people.

The statement did not refer to any specific country.

King Abdullah had previously called for "critical measures" to be taken on Syria, warning of an impending "humanitarian disaster."
