Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan reaffirmed Saudi Arabia’s unwavering stance on Palestinian statehood during the 162nd Arab League session in Cairo on September 10, 2024.
Following U.S. President Donald Trump’s suggestion that the U.S. should “own” Gaza after displacing Palestinians, Saudi Arabia strongly rejected any violation of Palestinian rights.
The Kingdom reiterated that normalization with Israel hinges on the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital.
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman emphasized this position in previous speeches, including at the Shoura Council and the Arab-Islamic summit.
Saudi Arabia urged international recognition of Palestine and condemned Israeli settlement policies and displacement efforts.
The Kingdom also rejected Trump’s proposal for Egypt and Jordan to absorb displaced Gazans, insisting Palestinians must remain in their land and calling on the global community to support their rights.
