In a shocking announcement, Trump said on Tuesday the United States
would take over the war-ravaged enclave after Palestinians are resettled
elsewhere and develop it economically. He was speaking at a joint press
conference with visiting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Saudi Arabia, in swift response to Trump, says no ties with Israel without Palestinian state
Story by
CAIRO (Reuters) -
Saudi Arabia said it would not establish ties with
Israel without the creation of a Palestinian state, contradicting
President Donald Trump's claim that Riyadh was not demanding a
Palestinian homeland when he said the U.S. wants to take over the Gaza
Strip.
Saudi Arabia rejects
any attempts to displace the Palestinians from their land, Saudi
Arabia's foreign ministry said in a statement on Wednesday, adding that
its stance towards the Palestinians is not negotiable.
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has affirmed the kingdom's position in 'a clear and explicit manner' that does not allow for any interpretation under any circumstances, the statement said.
