Cairo (Reuters) – Saudi -Arabia said on Wednesday that it would not make ties with Israel without the establishment of a Palestinian state – a statement that comes after American President Donald Trump, said that the Saudis did not demand a Palestinian state.
In a shock catering, Trump said on Tuesday that the US would take over the Gaza Strip destroyed by war after Palestinians have resorted elsewhere and developed economically. He spoke at a joint press conference with a visit to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The statement by the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman has confirmed the position of the Kingdom in ‘a clear and explicit way’ that does not allow any interpretation under any circumstances.

Saudi Aarabia also rejects all attempts to move the Palestinians out of their country, said the explanation, adding that his attitude towards the Palestinians is not negotiable.
Netanyahu said during the press conference with Trump that Israel will give it a good chance with Saudi Arabia and succeed.
The United States had led months of diplomacy to have Saudi Arabia normalized ties with Israel and to recognize the country until the Gaza war started in October 2023, so Riyad led the case in the face of Arab anger about the offensive of Israel .
