'Israel cannot exist without the existence of a Palestinian state': Saudi foreign minister

Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, speaking at a ministerial meeting hosted by Norway and Saudi Arabia in Brussels over the weekend, warned Israel that "it is absolutely necessary that Israel must accept that it cannot exist without the existence of a Palestinian state."

“Israel doesn’t get to decide whether or not the Palestinians have a right to self-determination. This is something that is enshrined in the UN’s charter and in international law,” he added. 

At the ministerial meeting, representatives of more than 20 countries discussed a political solution to the Israeli occupation of Palestine.
