Riyadh's response to the proposal to establish a Palestinian state in Saudi Arabia

Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - International Service: The Saudi Foreign Ministry announced: We appreciate the actions of brotherly countries in condemning, denouncing and completely opposing the statements of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about displacing the Palestinian people from their land.

 

The Saudi Foreign Ministry stated: We appreciate the positions of Arab and Islamic countries that emphasized the centrality of the Palestinian issue.

 

The ministry stated: We emphasize our firm opposition to statements that aim to divert attention from the continuous crimes of the Israeli occupation regime against the Palestinian brothers in Gaza.

 

The Saudi Foreign Ministry stated: We emphasize that the brotherly people of Palestine have the right to their land and are not people who have entered or immigrated to Palestine that the oppressive occupying regime can expel at any time. This right of the brotherly people of Palestine will remain intact and no matter how much time passes, no one can take this right away from the Palestinian people.

 

The Saudi Foreign Ministry announced: We emphasize that permanent peace will not be achieved except by returning to the logic of reason and accepting the principle of peaceful coexistence through a two-state solution. The extremist occupying mentality does not understand what the land of Palestine means to the brotherly people of Palestine and what their emotional, historical and legal connection to this land is.

 

The Saudi Foreign Ministry stated: The extremist occupying mentality fundamentally does not consider the Palestinian people worthy of life, because without the slightest feeling or responsibility, it has completely destroyed the Gaza Strip.

 

Netanyahu previously rejected Saudi Arabia's condition for the establishment of a Palestinian state in exchange for normalizing relations with this regime and proposed to Saudi Arabia to establish a Palestinian state on its own soil.

 

He claimed that the Saudis have a lot of empty land and can build a Palestinian state there.

 

Netanyahu claimed that after the events of October 7, Israel cannot allow a Palestinian state to be formed on its own land.
