Saudi Arabia strongly responded to the statements made by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which sparked widespread controversy, affirming that Palestinians are the rightful owners of the land and their historical rights must be respected.
In a statement issued by the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the country unequivocally rejected Israel's attempts to displace Palestinians, emphasizing that Palestinians are the indigenous people of the land, not migrants.
The Ministry clarified that Israeli statements are part of attempts to distract public opinion from the violations faced by Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, declaring the Kingdom's steadfast support for the Palestinian cause as a cornerstone of its policy.
Saudi Arabia praised the decisive Arab stance in confronting such statements, emphasizing that a just peace can only be achieved through a two-state solution, in accordance with international resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative.
The statement concluded with a warning against attempts to impose a new reality by force, stressing that this would escalate the situation and increase instability in the region, and that Saudi Arabia will remain a strong supporter of the Palestinian people's cause.
