Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman discussed, in a phone call with French President Emmanuel Macron, on Sunday, regional and international developments and ways to enhance security and stability.

The Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported that the phone call received by Prince Mohammed bin Salman from Macron discussed ways to enhance areas of joint cooperation between the two countries.

The statement added that the two sides "discussed regional and international developments, and exchanged views on the latest developments and efforts made towards them to achieve security and stability."

These discussions come amidst the dangers looming over the Middle East peace process, especially with regard to the two-state solution between Palestine and Israel, which enjoys the support of the majority of the international community, against the backdrop of the US positions biased towards Israel, which have taken on a more hardline character since the beginning of President Donald Trump’s term last January, which represents a shift from Washington’s traditional approach to the Palestinian issue.

These positions included an American plan proposed by Trump, based on the United States seizing the Gaza Strip after displacing its residents, in addition to his administration’s announcement that a decision would soon be made regarding recognizing “Israeli sovereignty over the West Bank” or not.

While Trump did not explicitly clarify his position on the two-state solution, officials in his administration said that he "did not rule out this solution in the future."

The American plan regarding Gaza was widely rejected at the Palestinian, Arab and international levels.

Saudi Arabia affirms its commitment to establishing a Palestinian state on the borders of June 5, 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
