My company in Saudi is a government university. They appointed me without a ministry of commerce attested contract and when I asked them for the contract they terminated me. What should I do?

Under labour law the employer has the right to terminate you with the given conditions are met.

I was not given an official contract nor an official termination letter nor release for past 14 months

You need to consult your embassy in that case

You cab check with a lawyer. Did you get salary transfered to your account directly as salary. This can be used as a proof.
Also it is the right of the employer to terminate the employee the first 3 months. So if you are within the first three month. Bad luck.

Sorry did not get you worked 14 month. I think check with a lawyer. If you have any proof you worked there like salary transfer may be.
At least you can get some compansation.

What do you mean by termination?
Final exit?
And under old laws it was not compulsory to give you the contract.
You made a mistake if they were paying you.
New laws are applying right now and you should have patience and they would have put your contract on the digital platform.
