Saudi Arabia: No normalization with Israel before the establishment of the Palestinian state

On Wednesday, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia ruled out normalizing its relations with Israel before the establishment of a Palestinian state, and at the same time pledged to mobilize international public opinion against the occupation’s practices against the Palestinians.


Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan said that the establishment of a Palestinian state is the Kingdom's condition for moving forward with normalization with Israel, stressing his country's rejection of the genocide committed by the Israeli army in the northern Gaza Strip.


Saudi Al-Ekhbariya channel quoted Bin Farhan as saying, "The Kingdom will mobilize international public opinion against Israel's practices against the Palestinian people."


Earlier, Saudi Arabia condemned the Israeli Knesset's approval of legislation banning the work of UNRWA, considering it part of its persistence in ethnic cleansing crimes against the Palestinian people.


The Saudi Foreign Ministry said in a statement that it expresses the Kingdom's condemnation and denunciation in the strongest terms of the Israeli Knesset's approval of draft laws banning UNRWA activities in the occupied Palestinian territories.


She considered this recognition a flagrant violation of international law and a direct violation of the rules of international legitimacy, in light of the unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe that the Palestinian people are facing.
