Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said on Wednesday that the Kingdom would not recognise Israel without the establishment of a Palestinian state.
During an address to the Shoura Council, he also strongly condemned the “crimes of the Israeli occupation” against the Palestinian people.
“The Kingdom will not stop its tireless work toward 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,” the crown prince said.
Prince Mohammed thanked “countries that recognised the Palestinian state in embodiment of international legitimacy,” and urged other countries who had not done so to “take similar steps.”
The Kingdom sought to enhance regional and international security and peace by making efforts to reach political solutions to the crises in Yemen, Sudan, Libya and Ukraine, the crown prince said.
