During his address, Prince Mohammed emphasized the necessity of a two-state solution to achieve lasting peace in the region. He stated, “An independent Palestinian state is necessary for lasting peace in the region. East Jerusalem should be the capital of Palestine.” This statement aligns with Saudi Arabia’s long-standing position on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, as the country has consistently advocated for Palestinian rights and a just resolution to the crisis.
The Crown Prince’s remarks come amidst heightened tensions in the region, with recent escalations in violence between Israelis and Palestinians. His call for an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital is seen as part of Saudi Arabia’s broader diplomatic efforts to stabilize the Middle East and improve relations with various countries in the region.
