Subscribe here: [ Ссылка ] Saudi Arabia has formed a global alliance to push for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the country’s Foreign Minister, Prince Faisal Bin Farhan Al Saud, said on Thursday on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York, Reuters reports.
The alliance includes a number of Arab and Muslim countries and European partners, the Saudi State News Agency reported, without specifying which countries had committed to join.
European Union Foreign Policy chief, Josep Borrell, said on X the first meetings would be in Riyadh and Brussels.
After the eruption of the Gaza war last October between Israel and the Palestinian group, Hamas, Saudi Arabia put on ice US-backed plans for the Kingdom to normalise ties with Israel, two sources familiar with Riyadh’s thinking said earlier this year.
“Implementing the two-state solution is the best solution to break the cycle of conflict and suffering, and enforce a new reality in which the entire region, including Israel, enjoys security and co-existence,” Bin Farhan was quoted as saying.
Saudi Crown Prince, Mohammed Bin Salman, said last week the Kingdom would not recognise Israel without a Palestinian State and strongly condemned the “crimes of the Israeli occupation” against the Palestinian people.
Israel and Palestine have been waging war since gunmen from the Palestinian group in the Gaza Strip stormed into southern Israel on 7 October, killing 1,200 people and capturing some 250 hostages, by Israeli tallies.
However, since then, it has been revealed by Haaretz that helicopters and tanks of the Israeli army had, in fact, killed many of the 1,139 soldiers and civilians claimed by Israel to have been killed by the Palestinian Resistance.
Israel responded with a military offensive in Gaza in which more than 41,500 Palestinians have been killed, according to Gaza health authorities. Israel says it will press on with its intensified campaign against Lebanon’s Hezbollah, after nearly a year of cross-border fire in parallel with the Gaza war.
