Saudi foreign minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud told Al Arabiya TV on Monday that there will be no solution to the Israeli-Palestinian Arab conflict without an independent Palestinian state.
“The two-state solution must return to the forefront,” he said, adding that “the solution to the Palestinian issue supports the stability of the region and the world.”
Prince Faisal’s remarks follow a report on Sunday that the US had requested a pause in the discussions on normalization between Israel and Saudi Arabia, a report which the US later denied.
A recent report indicated that the United States and Saudi Arabia have agreed on the broad outlines of a deal for Saudi Arabia to recognize Israel in exchange for concessions to the Palestinian Arabs.
