During its session held in Jeddah today, Tuesday, under the chairmanship of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, the Saudi Cabinet affirmed its hope that the "High-Level International Conference on the Peaceful Settlement of the Palestinian Issue," chaired by Saudi Arabia in partnership with France, would contribute to accelerating recognition of the Palestinian state, establishing a consensus path to implementing the two-state solution, and enhancing the security and stability of the countries of the region.
The Saudi Cabinet condemned the Israeli Knesset's demand to impose control over the occupied West Bank and Jordan Valley, undermining peace efforts and perpetuating destruction and devastation. The Cabinet stressed the Kingdom's complete rejection of the occupation authorities' violations of international law and United Nations resolutions.
He affirmed the Kingdom's continued efforts to establish a just peace in the Middle East, promote international security and stability, and halt the cycle of violence that has claimed the lives of tens of thousands of innocent civilians.
The Saudi Cabinet reiterated its welcome of French President Emmanuel Macron's announcement of his country's intention to recognize the State of Palestine, and called on other countries to take similar steps and take positions in support of peace and the rights of the Palestinian people.
