Saudi Arabia's foreign minister says Israel blocking Ramallah meeting proof of 'extremism'

Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al-Saud said the Israeli government's refusal to allow a delegation of Arab ministers to the occupied West Bank showed its "extremism and rejection of peace".

His statements came during a joint press conference with counterparts from Jordan, Egypt and Bahrain in Amman.

On Saturday, Israel said it will not allow a planned meeting on Sunday in the Palestinian administrative capital of Ramallah to go ahead.
