Saudi Arabia says only ‘irreversible pathway’ to Palestinian state enables normalisation with Israel

Saudi Arabia’s position on Palestine remains unchanged, with a Saudi source saying any regional deal must include a clear path towards statehood.

Speaking to Al Arabiya English, the source said “there needs to be an irreversible pathway to a Palestinian state”.

The remarks come as US President Donald Trump told Muslim-majority countries to normalise ties with Israel in exchange for ending the war with Iran.

“After all the work done by the United States to try and pull this very complex puzzle together, it should be mandatory that all of these Countries, at a minimum, simultaneously, sign onto the Abraham Accords,” Trump wrote.
