Mohammed bin Salman says kingdom will continue ‘its tireless work towards the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital’
DUBAI — Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said Wednesday the kingdom would not recognize Israel without the establishment of a Palestinian state.
“We renew the kingdom’s rejection and strong condemnation of the crimes of the Israeli occupation authority against the Palestinian people,” the crown prince, known as MBS, said.
He added that “the kingdom will not stop its tireless work towards the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, and we affirm that the kingdom will not establish diplomatic relations with Israel without that.”
Such a move is considered a key sticking point with the current right-wing Israeli government, which has repeatedly rejected the possibility of a Palestinian state, especially in the wake of the October 7 attack, saying that doing so would be tantamount to rewarding terrorism.
