Saudi Arabia reaffirmed on Wednesday that it will not establish diplomatic ties with Israel unless a Palestinian state is created. The statement follows remarks by former U.S. President Donald Trump, who claimed that Riyadh was not making such a demand.
Saudi Arabia has made its stance on Israel clear, rejecting normalisation without a Palestinian state. The Saudi foreign ministry issued a statement on Wednesday, saying Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has affirmed this position in "a clear and explicit manner" that leaves no room for interpretation.
The announcement came after Trump suggested that the U.S. would take control of the Gaza Strip following the displacement of Palestinians, with plans to develop the territory economically. He made the remarks during a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday.
Riyadh also rejected any efforts to displace Palestinians from their land, calling its stance on the issue "non-negotiable."
Netanyahu, addressing Trump's comments, said Israel would pursue a deal with Saudi Arabia and expressed confidence in its success.
The United States had been pushing for Saudi-Israel normalisation for months, but the Gaza war, which erupted in October 2023, led Riyadh to put discussions on hold due to strong Arab opposition to Israel’s military campaign.
