Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan said on Thursday that normalization between Saudi Arabia and "Israel" is not on the table until the "two-state solution" is achieved and a Palestinian state is established.
He stressed, during a dialogue session within the activities of the "Future Investment Initiative" in Riyadh, that "the issue of normalization is not the only one at stake now, but the situation in the entire region as well, if we do not find a solution and a clear path to establish a Palestinian state."
Bin Farhan hoped "that the Israeli leadership will see that this is the right and just thing to do, and it also serves Israel's security and strategic interests."
The Saudi Foreign Minister said that establishing a Palestinian state is linked to the principles of international law, not to recognition by "Israel."
He pointed out that the ceasefire negotiations in Gaza have repeatedly collapsed due to new demands from "Israel". He said that "the Israeli occupation is committing genocide in Gaza".
He added: "We are working to ensure that the Palestinians obtain their legitimate rights, and that Palestine is a member of the international community".
In a related context, he stressed that the Kingdom supports international efforts to stop the escalation in Lebanon.
He believed that Saudi-Iranian relations are moving in the right direction, but are complicated by regional conditions.
He touched on "Vision 2030", noting that Saudi Arabia aims through it to stabilize neighboring countries.
