Saudi Arabia reaffirmed its commitment to an independent Palestinian state on Tuesday, stating that normalising relations with Israel would be contingent on its establishment.
The announcement came shortly after US President Donald Trump suggested relocating all Palestinians from Gaza and placing the territory under American control.
In a statement released early on Wednesday, the Saudi Foreign Ministry underscored the kingdom’s “firm and unwavering” stance on Palestinian statehood, contradicting Trump’s claim that Saudi Arabia was not making such a demand.
