Regional stability only possible by giving Palestinians a state: Saudi FM

DAVOS: True stability in the region will only be possible through giving the Palestinian people a state, said Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos.

In a tweet by the Saudi foreign ministry, Prince Faisal said: “True normalization and true stability will only come through giving the Palestinians hope and dignity and that requires giving the Palestinians a state.”

 

 

The foreign minister has taken WEF as a platform to voice the Kingdom’s concerns over the Palestinian issue and call for a solution. Earlier in a panel discussion, he expressed his optimism about the Middle East, but called the Palestinian crisis the “biggest drag” on the region.

He urged the new Israeli government to engage seriously with the Palestinians to resolve the issue.
