Saudi Foreign Ministry: Israel's decision on the West Bank undermines efforts to achieve peace and stability
Saudi Arabia condemned Israel's decision to take control of parts of the West Bank, warning the move would undermine efforts to achieve peace and stability, in a statement by the Foreign Ministry on X.
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expresses the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s condemnation of the Israeli occupation authorities’ decision to rename the West Bank as “State Lands,” affiliated with the occupation authorities, as part of plans aimed at imposing a new legal and administrative reality in the occupied West Bank, and undermining the ongoing efforts to achieve peace and stability in the region," the Foreign Ministry said on Monday.
The Ministry said Israel had no right over Palestinian territories and was undermining the two state solution, reafirming the kingdoms support for a independent Palestinain State.
Israel’s cabinet on Sunday approved further measures to tighten Israel’s control over the occupied West Bank and make it easier for settlers to buy land, in a move Palestinians called “a de-facto annexation.” The move has been widely crticised by Arab countries including Qatar, Egypt and Jordan.
