The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) reiterated its call for the establishment of a Palestinian state, the group said in a statement carried by Qatar’s Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani during their latest ministerial meeting in Riyadh.
Al-Thani, who chaired the event, said GCC members want to see an "independent State of Palestine on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital".
They promised to continue pushing for a lasting peace that would include "the Palestinian people obtaining all their legitimate rights approved by international bodies".
Israel continues to oppose the establishment of a Palestinian state.
