Egypt, Saudi Arabia Condemn Israeli Remarks on Palestinian State

Egypt has condemned Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's recent remarks suggesting that Saudi Arabia could host a Palestinian state, labeling them as 'irresponsible and unacceptable' and a violation of Saudi sovereignty. In response, Saudi Arabia reaffirmed its commitment to Palestinian statehood within pre-1967 borders, rejecting any proposals that undermine Palestinian rights or territorial integrity. Jordan's King Abdullah has also expressed concerns to President Trump, warning that plans for resettling Palestinians could destabilize the region. Saudi officials and other Arab nations have echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the need for a peaceful resolution based on international law and mutual respect. Additionally, Saudi Royal Prince Turki Al-Faisal criticized Trump's proposals, emphasizing that the core issue is the Israeli occupation rather than the Palestinians themselves. Both Saudi Arabia and Egypt urged the international community to condemn any actions or rhetoric that threaten regional stability and Palestinian rights.
