Saudi Arabia says it could recognize Israel if Palestinian issue resolved

Global News published this video item, entitled “Saudi Arabia says it could recognize Israel if Palestinian issue resolved” – below is their description.

During a panel at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland on Tuesday, Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister Prince Faisal Bin Farhan al-Saud suggested that the kingdom could “certainly” recognize Israeli sovereignty on two conditions.

Firstly, that a comprehensive agreement is met that includes statehood for Palestinians, and secondly that the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict comes to a ceasefire.

“We need to have a ceasefire immediately,” al-Saud said. “We need to set the ground for a credible process that enables the Palestinian Authority that allows us to have a process towards peace in the region,” he added.

Saudi Arabia voted against the United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine in 1947, and to this day, does not recognize Israel.

As of Monday, the death toll in Gaza surpassed 24,000 since Oct. 7. The violence was triggered by an unprecedented attack in southern Israel by Palestinian Hamas militants. They killed more than 1,200 people and took more than 240 hostage.
