TEHRAN: Iran's president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is urging Saudi Arabia's king to break his "silence" over Israel's Gaza offensive which Palestinian medical officials say has killed more than 1,000 Palestinians.

Thursday's report by the Irans official news agency quotes Ahmadinejad as saying in a rare message to Abdullah: "Break your silence over the massacre of your children in Gaza."

Ahmadinejad urged Abdullah to clearly announce his stance to "demolish hopes" of those seeking to forge a rift among Islamic countries.

Arab nations have been at odds how to deal with the conflict.

The kingdom is hosting a meeting Thursday on Gaza of Gulf countries. Saudi Arabia is overwhelmingly Sunni, as are the Palestinians.
