Saudi Arabia’s position on the Palestinian issue remains unchanged, a Saudi source told Al Arabiya English on Monday, adding that “there needs to be an irreversible pathway to a Palestinian state.”
– US President Donald Trump on Monday urged Muslim-majority nations across the Middle East and beyond to normalize relations with Israel as part of the emerging Iran peace deal.
– In a lengthy social media post, Trump listed countries whose leaders he spoke with on Saturday about efforts to end the war with Iran.
– “After all the work done by the United States to try and pull this very complex puzzle together, it should be mandatory that all of these Countries, at a minimum, simultaneously, sign onto the Abraham Accords,” Trump wrote.
– The Abraham Accords are a set of agreements brokered under Trump in 2020. The Accords govern the normalization of diplomatic relations between Israel and countries that have historically been hostile to it.
– Saudi Arabia’s position has long been clear and the Kingdom has repeatedly stated that it would not normalize relation with Israel without a Palestinian state.
