Saudi Arabia has firmly rejected U.S. President Donald Trump's proposal regarding Gaza, reiterating its commitment to establishing an independent Palestinian state. The Saudi Foreign Ministry stated that normalization with Israel will not occur until Palestinians achieve statehood, explicitly mentioning East Jerusalem as the capital. This position has been echoed by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The article also highlights reactions from other Arab nations, reflecting increasing unease over Trump's controversial remarks regarding Palestinian resettlement and land control amidst ongoing tensions.
The establishment of the Palestinian state is a firm, unwavering position, the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a lengthy statement on X on Wednesday.
His Highness stressed the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will not stop its tireless work towards the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital.
Trump's move contradicts numerous Saudi Arabian statements over the years stressing the kingdom's commitment to the Arab Peace Initiative.
Other Arab nations reacted uneasily to Trump's controversial pronouncements. Jordan's royal court said in a statement: His Majesty King Abdullah II stresses the need to put a stop to [Israeli] settlement expansion.
