Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has declared that Saudi Arabia will not establish diplomatic relations with Israel without the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital. In a televised speech, he strongly condemned the 'crimes of the Israeli occupation' against the Palestinian people. The Crown Prince emphasized that the kingdom will continue its efforts towards the creation of a Palestinian state and reaffirmed Saudi Arabia's stance on the issue, which aligns with the creation of a Palestinian state on 1967-lines in accordance with international law.
