RIYADH: Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman chaired a cabinet session on Tuesday in Riyadh, during which ministers welcomed US President Donald Trump’s comprehensive plan to end the conflict in Gaza.

The cabinet highlighted Saudi Arabia’s success in increasing the number of countries recognizing the State of Palestine.

It also reiterated the kingdom’s opposition to any annexation of the West Bank by Israel and affirmed its readiness to cooperate with the United States to achieve a comprehensive agreement, implement Israel’s full withdrawal from Gaza, and advance a two-state solution with East Jerusalem as the Palestinian capital.

Ministers highlighted the visit of Pakistani Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif, which culminated in the signing of a Joint Strategic Defense agreement to enhance defense cooperation and support regional security.

In a statement to the Saudi Press Agency, Minister of Media Salman bin Yousef Al-Dosari said the cabinet valued Saudi Arabia’s active participation in the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly, reflecting the kingdom’s global standing and its commitment to peace, justice, and dialogue.
