Saudi Counters Trump, Says No Ties With Israel Without Palestinian State, Reiterates ‘Firm Support’
On February 5, Saudi Arabia reaffirmed its stance against normalizing relations with Israel without the establishment of a Palestinian state. This came after President Trump claimed Riyadh hadn’t made the two-state solution a condition for peace. Saudi officials emphasized their support for a Palestinian state on pre-1967 lines. Meanwhile, Trump announced that many countries would soon join the Abraham Accords and expressed hope for peace with Saudi Arabia. Israeli PM Netanyahu also reiterated his commitment to achieving peace with Saudi Arabia. n18oc_crux
