Saudi Arabia's Prince Faisal bin Farhan will become the first Saudi foreign minister to visit the occupied West Bank on Sunday, a diplomatic source told AFP.
The visit comes as Israel escalates its attacks across the occupied territory, even as it pummels the Gaza Strip.
Farhan will lead a delegation to Ramallah, a Palestinian embassy source told the AFP, in the first such trip since Israel conquered the territory from Jordan in 1967.
Prince Faisal's trip was revealed as Israel vowed to build a "Jewish Israeli state" in the West Bank, with a large expansion of illegal settlements announced earlier this week.
